The highway unfolds like a ribbon of blue and gray, stretching 113 miles across emerald islets and salt-sprayed seascapes. Leaving Miami behind, the van hums steadily onto the Overseas Highway, a feat of engineering threading 42 islands together from mainland Florida to the island city of Key West. En route, the Seven Mile Bridge asserts itself as a landmark – a concrete spine daring you to meet the restless Gulf of Mexico on one side and the open Atlantic on the other.
