Follow US1 south along the 18 mile stretch to the Florida Keys or take
the scenic route via Card Sound Road. Once you are in the Keys, US

markers. They begin in Florida City at MM 127 and continue on to
Key West at MM 0.

MILE MARKERS
Down here in the Keys, the
Overseas Highway is like our Main Street. And the best way to get
around is to know the mile marker of your destination. These
little green signs that dot our highway every mile begin just south of
Florida City with number 127 and run all the way down to 0 in Key West.
They're like our addresses. If you know the mile marker of where
you're going, getting there is easy. Don't forget to ask if it's bayside
or oceanside!
