  • The entire drive from Miami to Key West in July 2022. The entire journey took just under 4 hours. I start off in Downtown Miami and end in the Old Town of Key West. This drive takes you through the entirety of the Florida Keys on the Overseas Highway. Along the way, I cross over 44 Islands and 42 Bridges. The islands border the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. The most famous attraction on the Overseas Highway is the Seven Mile Bridge, which was considered one of the longest bridges when it was built.

      @@TheJaminator128 Almost everything is different from my country.
      The buildings and houses are much different, and the roads and sidewalks are much spacious, traffic lights hanging over the road rather than simple poles like we have here. The parking spots are wide, shops and stores are so diverse and abundant. The trees and bushes have different shapes. Everything seems a lot bigger. Hey, even the sky looks different! America gives me this feeling of awe and coziness.
      I would be blown away walking around in America, seeing all of these beautiful things with my own eyes. People would think I'm a crazy tourist!

      The Miami to Key West route was first built as a railroad. When a hurricane damaged a bunch of the bridges(in 1930s I think), then the state or locals down there(I forget what it was) all decided to convert the railroad tracks into a road. Some of the old railroad bridges still exist to this day, and certain ones were converted into piers for local fisherman to use. Plus anyone who wants to walk on them leisurely.
      Over time in the mid 20th century, a bunch of portions of the Overseas Highway had replacement bridges built. Such as where Seven Mile Bridge is located. The original bridges between islands for this highway, used the original railroad bridges that were converted into being a road.

    This brings back memories of 15 years ago when I was there with a friend. Our vacation started from London Heathrow. We landed in Miami and spent 6 hours at Miami Beach & the Art Deco District before then flying out to Lima Peru. We spend 2 weeks traveling around Peru before flying back to Miami, after being caught up in the 8.0 earthquake of 2007.
    When we got back to Miami from Lima we rented a Mustang GT & drove to Key West. The sun was starting to set about half way through the journey to Key West, & I remember the radio station we were listening to as we were driving down only seemed to play British music from the 60’s. Later we spent 4 days driving around Florida before flying back to London.

      I'm a 5th. Generation Conch and we are an island of Dog lovers. Many of the business leave out water bowls for the Pups who are visiting our island with their families. If you make it down Again they have opened up Truman Waterfront park on the old Submarine base by Fort Zachary Taylor . The waterfront is all free lots of grass and even a nice new Dog park complete with obstacles for the pups to play on. A great quiet Place to watch sunset with your Pups. Mallory Square is fun but a bit noisy and crowded. They have a free water park for little kids at Truman Waterfront too. There are restrooms and water fountains for People and Pups but no food vendor's so bring a snack. My border Collies love their evening sunset walks there and the Puppy pals they meet on their walks. It's a great place with lots of room and shade if your furry family members are vacationing with you.

    I took a bus from Miami to Key West to see a high school friend interviewing for a job on the island in 1979. Thankfully, I don't remember the trip being long. She lived on Marathon so the trip wasn't too long for her. It's great seeing this route decades later. My memories of Key West were seeing the sunset with a crowd of others, seeing a play on Green Street, seeing the world's biggest bug in a spider's web on the bench I was sitting, a Woody Allen film retrospective and the Conch Train full of tourists.

    The Gulf is on the right side and Atlantic ton the left going down to Key West. The remains of the Flager railway bridge to the lower keys, built in early 1900's should be seen on your left out in the water I think. A beautiful scenic drive.

    Naturally things have changed in the Keys since the '50s. As a child raised in Miami, the family spent at least one weekend a month camping beside Teatable Bridge inIslamorda, until hurricane Donna destroyed the land mass. (That's pronounced Isle-a-marada). I took the whole ride to Key West with you and enjoyed it so much. Last time I did this trip was early nineties. I live in Texas now. Great Video.
