Overseas Highway

If you’re in the Florida area, this road trip is one not to miss. The 127.5-mile trip will take you from Miami to Key West, and seven miles of that will be on a bridge over water called the Overseas Highway. Naturally, you’ll enjoy the night life of Miami for a few days before you take off for the more serene leg of the trip, and don’t miss the shopping (Shops at Midtown Miami are great for outdoor shopping), and the food (try Little Havana for something authentic to the area). If it’s contact with nature you’re in for, definitely stop in the city of Marathon, which is set across 13 islands full of photo-worthy barrier reefs and beaches. Once in The Keys, you can enjoy culture or nature. Visit Hemmingway’s old residence, enjoy the Butterfly and Nature Reserve, or stroll down to Mallory Plaza for lots of foot traffic and great local seafood in quaint bistros.
