The Florida Keys, also called the “American Caribbean”, is made up of approximately

connected by 42 bridges and stretch some 126 miles from the mainland to the last Key,
Key West.
The turquoise-blue waters surrounding the Florida Keys and Key West provide outstanding
world-class flats fishing, back country fishing, deep-sea fishing, scuba diving and
snorkeling, sailing and other water related activities and makes the Florida Keys and Key
West one of the world’s most popular vacation destinations.
This website was designed to give Internet users answers to most often asked questions

choices of lodgings, charter boat listings, scuba diving shops, etc., than any other Florida

Highway 1, also called the Overseas Highway, is the only road connecting all
the islands together and connecting the islands to the mainland. Because
everything is either to the right or to the left of the Highway, we call one side
'Oceanside' and the other 'Bayside' or 'Gulf side' with the exception of the
island of Key West because it is at the end of the string of islands. Most of
the time when we describe where something is, we say Mile Marker and the
number. Mile Marker 0 starts the numbering and is in Key West.
We also break the Florida Keys into three main sections - the Upper Keys,
the Middle Keys and the Lower Keys. The Upper Keys is from MM 108 to 65
and is where Key Largo, Tavernier, and Islamorada (the "Village of Islands")
are located. The Middle Keys is from MM 64 to MM 40 and includes the city of
Marathon and the 7-mile bridge. Then the Lower Keys is from MM 40 to 0
and includes Bahia Honda, Big Pine Key, Key West and a few Keys in
between like Little Torch Key, Ramrod Key, Cudjoe Key and Summerland
Key.
