Located only an hour and a half from Miami International airport, Key Largo is the first in the Florida Keys chain and a perfect get-a-way for an extended vacation or day trip from Miami.
How to Get There. By car: Key Largo is slightly more than an hour from Miami; Islamorada is another twenty-five minutes south on U.S. 1 (the Overseas Highway). Take the Florida Turnpike South to Florida City where it ends. U.S. 1 continues from that point south through the Keys. To reach Everglades National Park, head west from U.S. 1 onto State Road 9336/SW 344th Street in Florida City and follow the signs to the park entrance.
