Miami to Key west stopping points?
Hi
Our family was planning to drive from miami to key west and back. we were wondering how to figure out where to stop for pictures or scenic observations. Is there a map of some kind? Thanks |

Stop off at Bahia Honda State Park. Crystal-clear waters, best natural stretch of sand in the Keys, palm trees, wildlife. Busy weekends.
|
After crossing the seven mile bridge south of Marathon, it’s nice to stop and take a stroll on the old bridge. If the water is calm you can see lots of sea life in the water.
When you get to Big Pine Key, you can visit The Blue Hole and you should see lots of Key Deer around. https://floridahikes.com/blue-hole Bahia Honda is a wonderful suggestion. It is one of our favorite places in the keys. The water views are amazing all through the keys. Enjoy your trip and time there. |
If you want to see Key Deer (the adults are small), then they are easy to spot driving around the streets near Key Deer National Wildlife Refuge at dusk. You make it sound like this is a quick trip for you, up and back.

I disagree about Robert is Here...most of their produce was easy to find in other food markets and their prices are on the high side. Nothing there I could not find in many other places, for less cost. Same applies to the roadside, open-air food markets along the main highway through the Keys....
A better choice is the vast, sprawling Redlands weekend market outside Homestead. Food stands, products, fruits aquas and batidos, food carts, and LIVE music and s sometimes dancing. The closest you can come to Mexico and Central American in Florida....I had a blast but it can get a little hot. Spanish is the principal language but English is widely spoken, too........I had a great time but it might bee overwhelming for anyone who's never been to a large food market in Latin America....... |

Bahia Honda is pretty fabulous. But we had a campsite, not sure about day tripping.
I remember cute hotels and restaurants in Marathon, but again we were staying a few days. |
