I stay at the Key West Marriott Beachside. The Presidential Suites are awesome! The drive from Miami is about two and a half hours and fairly boring. Not much scenery until you get to Marathon. If you stay in Marathon it's about 50 minutes to Key West. Driving over 7 Mile Bridge is breath taking. My recommendation would be to fly into Key West. Other than Marathon the other Keys have limited restaurants. If you haven't heard Duval Street is the main attraction in Key West. Make sure that you do the Duval Crawl!

Hot Tin Roof is a pricey restaurant but the view is awesome. Sunset Pier is at the same location.

One last thing - DO NOT SPEED! They are extremely serious about enforcing the SPEED LIMIT! Most Florida law enforcement will give you 5 over the posted speed limit. But NOT in the KEYS. Especially at night!

Is the speed-anal-ness because of the key deer?

When i was down there they are super protective about key deer.

That has a lot to do with it and why the speed limit is 10 MPH less at night.

We’re already planning for this...appreciate all the advice

Take the day trip out to the dry tortugas while in Keys. Historic and amazing snorkling If your into that.

On another road trip. Headed from Indy to Orange Beach/Gulf Shores, Al. Then to see what Mississippi beaches are like. Gonna roll through Arkansas, then home. Part of my bucket list to visit every state. After this trip, I will be half way there.

Mississippi beaches - Beautiful sand, ugly water, lots of casinos

You inspired me. It’s time for a clean up from the neck up. I’m going to take a road trip myself. Big circle, 1200 miles or so, over to the Atlantic, 5 states , through Deals Gap and back.
