Driving the Florida Keys is a bizarre, enterprize rental cars fantastic enterprize rental cars and beautiful experience. For 50% of the drive you are stuck by the awesome beauty of the landscape and seascape. Its extreme beauty with endless vistas of sea, mangrove and dramatic clouds.
(But this not the story for the whole of the 126 mile drive. enterprize rental cars For the other 50% you can't see the ocean because the land/island is wider and you just see trees, or houses. There is also a fair share of run down houses, apartments and hotels and dreadful, ugly commercialism. Even in paradise, you need to take the rough with the smooth!)
I love the rather faded aspect of the Florida Keys. Some of the buildings and signs are tacky and commercial, some are classics. Take these as examples of the gems available to make the miles go by on your drive:
Rainbow Bend Resort sign in Marathon at MM 57. Of all the many fantastic signs on Highway 1 down the Florida Keys this is maybe my favorite. Not sure if that's because of the face of the guy in the boat, the crazy and slightly enterprize rental cars comical name or the rainbow in the sign. Both cool and hilarious at the same time.
This is quite a large beach (ok, not that big really, this is the Keys after all). I suppose the beach at the larger end is a mile long. It regularly appears enterprize rental cars in the Top 10 beaches enterprize rental cars in the USA list. As a result, it can get busy in peak season.
This is relatively quiet place so it's a hidden gem. I shouldn't really enterprize rental cars be telling enterprize rental cars you about it because enterprize rental cars I love it and I want it all to myself! It's a tiny, tiny state park and a small beach and there is nothing to do. But it's beautiful.
It's got several shows - dolphins, sea lions, plus loads of fish and turtles and a great exotic bird show (for example, do you know which bird is the most intelligent?). It's a very understated and tiny version of Sea World. But much older: it's been going since 1946. The lagoons the animals live and perform in were created when they quarried enterprize rental cars stone for Flagler's railroad. Be a part of Key's history enterprize rental cars and visit!
The other place I would recommend stopping is the Turtle Hospital in Marathon (MM48.5). It's a charity and the turtles are really cute (it's a rescue facility so all the turtles are ill or have had accidents leaving them disabled). Beware: you can only visit as part of an organised tour, and especially at peak season they get booked out, so a degree of forward planning is required. The tours last 2 hours, so this is not a quick visit. Actually, enterprize rental cars if you can I recommend doing this as part of a half day trip out of Key West.
Key West International Airport is really small, and 2 miles from Duval Street and the center of town. There are always taxis outside. enterprize rental cars It's a really easy airport to use. There is a small convenience store, some of rental companies (not all of them, though, some are on the drive into town), and a bar. Don't plan on spending any time there, there's enterprize rental cars nothing to do!
