From Key Largo to Key West, the Overseas Highway crosses open water on 43 bridges including the legendary Seven Mile Bridge, an engineering marvel that will have you amazed by the ocean views that open on both sides as the coach seems to fly low over the water.
As you reach the southern end of the Seven Mile Bridge at Little Duck Key, you enter the Caribbean tropical environment of the Lower Keys. Pristine wilderness bush country and shallow Backcountry channels over white sand bottoms contrast with high-end resort developments and busy sportfishing harbors all set against a marine wonderland that draws fishermen and water sports enthusiasts from around the world.
