If you’re heading in from the Miami International Airport, you’ll start out on LeJeune Road South to Highway 836 West. Get onto the Florida Turnpike South toward Key West, which ends at US 1 in Florida City. Then, you simply follow this road as far as it goes, and you’ll be dropped right into Key West!
If you’re heading in from the Fort Lauderdale area, you’ll leave the airport and head toward 595 West. Use this road to get to the Florida Turnpike, then follow the signs directing you to the Florida Keys and Key West. It’s really that simple!
Do be aware that the Florida Keys strictly enforce their speed limits, so be sure to obey all posted traffic signs. Also, you’ll probably want to have your camera out, as this is considered one of the most scenic drives in the United States!
