Key West question

Going to the keys in 3 weeks. Never been. Tell me about the overseas highway. Is it all two lanes? Is wind a problem? If you have a flat, is there a shoulder? Any comments or tips appreciated. Thanks!

  • Have some Key Lime Pie.
    Go to Jimmy Buffet's place.
    Dinner at Louie's Back Porch.
    Take a pic at the southern most monument.

    Once south of Key Largo the drive is beautiful!! Have done it many times all times of the day and night. The northern keys are pretty tight together, in the south the bridges are a bit longer, seven mile bridge has wide shoulders.
    Don’t worry go have fun!!!
  • As an aside, there are no Little Key Deer on the bridge! You will be much less rich when you return but you have to chalk up the high price to the great fun you had! Enjoy!

    Go, have fun! No worries! No tips necessary! If you have a flat, call your road service. You won't have a flat!
