Driving to Key West

Key West is the southernmost island in the Florida Keys, 159 miles southwest of Miami. Your drive there is along one of the most scenic roads in North America. The Overseas Highway or U.S. Highway 1 has 43 overseas bridges, including the historic 7-mile bridge-and a total of 113 miles of roadway that extends nearly 90 miles off the mainland. It ends at mile marker zero in the heart of Key West. 

The Florida Turnpike is the fastest route to the entrance of the Florida Keys.  From all points north, head south on the Florida Turnpike to Exit 4–which is the Homestead/Key West extension. This will connect you to U.S. Highway 1 in Florida City. Depending on traffic, the trip from Florida City usually takes 2.5 to 3 hours. Once you're on U.S. 1, speed limits throughout the Florida Keys are strictly enforced and range from 35 mph to 55 mph. Please be especially careful through the Big Pine Key area, as this is a Key Deer Refuge. Speed limits are reduced along this stretch of road.

Flight

Flying to Key West

Several major airlines schedule regular service to both Key West International Airport and Marathon Airport. These include Delta, United, Silver Airways and American Airlines. Many flights are routed through Miami International Airport, although some smaller airlines, such as Cape Air and Air Key West offer private charters, and scheduled direct flights from many cities in Florida and the Bahamas. International flights must connect to one of these airlines in Miami. *TIP from the Bride & Groom* Try running your search with the "Multi-City" function; i.e. fly into Miami or Fort Lauderdale and set your return flight as departing out of Key West. I often find this makes airfare immensely more economical and also gives you a chance to drive through all the beautiful keys without having to make the trek both ways.

The Casa Marina Resort is extending a 10% discount to our guests when booking a guest room. To book your stay, please make a reservation by clicking the "View" button. The wedding social section will automatically populate and you can enter the code, M6 in the group code area. Do not contact the hotel directly and ask for the Michaels/Woolery room block - we do not have a block at this hotel. *TIP from the Bride & Groom* - We STRONGLY encourage you to check back every few weeks leading up to the wedding, as in my experience the rates can go down quite a bit. Many lodging policies allow you to cancel with no penalty within a week of your stay, so I recommend solidifying accommodations now, and continuing to check back in case a better option/rate becomes available.
