The Overseas Highway (US-1) makes commuting across the keys very easy. Infact, this has to be one of the most scenic driving tours in all of Florida. Drivers are surrounded by water all the way to the horizon on both sides of the road. This 127 mile route uses 42 bridges to island hop for over 127 miles.

Travel along the route is measured by Mile Markers (MM) which many local motels and restaurants use for their addresses. The highway starts at MM127 south of Miami and ends in Key West at MM0.
