Can you Drive Miami to Key West and BACK in 1 DAY? Top Tips for RoundTripping KeyWest

- Опубликовано: 30 июл 2024
- Can you round-trip it? Of course you can. The total drive is around 8 hours. The better question is: Should you drive from Miami to KeyWest in a day? It's a challenge because the time budget is low to make it back it back at a reasonable hour.
Ride along and decide for yourself if you want to attempt cruising to Key West and back...in ONE day.
My top reasons are: Visiting the Old Florida vibe, Cruising the Overseas Highway (one of the most scenic drives in the USA), AND, of course, walking Duvall Street and visiting Key West. Key West has so much, even if you're there for just a few hours. You can visit the famous conch houses, walk Duvall Street and take your picture at the Southern Most Point in the United States. Totally worth it for me. But YOU decide for yourself. It is a very long day. September 1, 2023: Rest in peace #jimmybuffett

Thanks for sharing, I will be doing my round trip from North Bay village in Miami to Key West the next week :)
Have fun! Hope the traffic cooperates for you.
He scenery is amazing!
Great place to visit.
The scenery is definitely world class!
Your video was so perfect in every way. I am going in a few weeks to Miami and you my dear just gave me an idea to visit the Keys. Thank you ❤
Oh I love that! Have a blast.
Yes! I did it was amazing trip miami to key west and straight back to Gainesville!
Gainesville!? That is beyond impressive - you’re part of the advanced class of road trippers. 😉 🏆
Thanks for the inspiration! We think we will make it. Best wishes Siri and Uwe
You will have the day of your lives! Happy travels.
We had it all
Just like Bogie and Bacall
Starring in our old late, late show
Sailing away to Key Largo
Here's lookin' at you kid
Missing all the things we did
We can find it once again, I know
Just like they did in Key Largo
Great song! I’m sure it’s on many playlists for roadtrips to the Keys. 🌴🎶🎼🎵
on my 21st bday i drove down to keywest from miami, got a key lime pie and drove back home lol
Right on! Celebrating you. Sounds like you should make it an annual birthday event??! 🥳
@@PlantBasedJan I go to marathon and islanorada at least once a month. Love the keys!! 👍🏿
Yes but WHY WOULD YOU. we make this trip 1-2 times a year it takes us 8-9 hrs to do it. There are too many places to see and visit. The trip down is part of the beautiful trip to Key West. When your in the Keys take off your watch and enjoy yourself and Life. Never rush. Stop and smell the roses….
You are spot on! BUT, there are some situations where there is only a day. We had to decide - does someone get to see the keys and KeyWest or - not?? We picked the one-dayer option. Hectic! And no stopping to smell any roses. 🌹 🧐
Woweeee! It’s so beautiful! I go to Key West soon! So excited, thank you for sharing 😊
I’ll come with you ! 😍 have fun
Sorry, meant to say: "the scenery"
It once took me 7 hours one-way from Miami to Key West. Just one car accident on the Keys Highway can upset your schedule as will road/bridge construction.
Traffic or construction woes are a huge part of the equation.
This video was perfect!! What camera do you film on btw?
Oh thank you! They are so fun to film but alot of work to edit! 🧐. Everything is from a GoPro Hero 11. It worked really well for wildlife in Glacier National Park which was my latest longer video.
Appreciate the comment!
Great thanks, just checked out your Glacier video, have to go someday!@@PlantBasedJan
Anywhere to stay along the way that's "reasonably" priced?
We’ve stayed at a few different places over the years that were very reasonable. I can’t vouch for current prices, ownership changes etc. The Kon-Tiki in Islamadora, clean and basic. Captain Pips in Marathon. Some eclectic rooms. Sugarloaf Lodge worked well a few years ago. I’d check current reviews on everything and you should be able to find some gems depending on your schedule.
You can if you don’t get drunk 😂😂😂😂
Right?! A very valid risk that one has to think about. 🍹🎉
Where do you park in key west , planning a trip
There's actually quite a few options: metered street parking (usually have to walk a few blocks). There are also several city parking lots and private garages within the area. We found metered street parking fairly easily about 4 blocks away from Duvall Street.
I'll bet she's the family hoot
She might be available for loan
It's too much of a rush. Why?
I agree, except it is one of the USA’s ultimate road trips for someone who’s never been and only has a day.
Very nice. You are very cute. Been to Key West many times. Good Lord willing I will be there for the 9th time in a week. Off of a cruise ship this time. So like you I will not have to pay for expensive Key West hotels. Lets make that the 4th reason to make it a day trip.
Have fun! Yes, the hotels are priced on their high demand and limited supply. It’s a world class place. $$$
any good steak houses there?
There always are. Since this was a Miami to KeyWest and back in a day video, there was no time for a long stop. 😉
Pacific ? No the Atlantic
You found it! Yes, I made a mention of Pacific about 8 minutes into the video. The Pacific is hardwired into my vocabulary since I grew up on the west coast. 😉
Atlantic Ocean 😁
Yes! The mighty Atlantic Ocean. Did I slip and say Pacific Ocean somewhere? I hope not! 😦
@@PlantBasedJan at 8:53 into video said Pacific Ocean,,, dosen't matter loved the video will be there in two months
@@user-tj5dx4tl9z Sigh... good catch. I live on the west coast so the Pacific Ocean is top of mind for me. Have fun!
I came here to say the same 😂
Yes you can, but why would you. 😊
You NAILED it. That is the challenge. If you only have one day - go for it, but make plans for more time.....
