Almost everything is referenced by Mile Markers along US-1. Key Largo begins around MM 106; Islamorada runs to about MM 72. A rental car is the best way to explore on your schedule. In Islamorada (MM 72–91.5), Freebee Shuttle offers free local electric rides.
Stock the kitchen for dockside dinners, grab sunscreen, and find everyday supplies close to your stay.
Know nearby clinics and emergency contacts so a Keys vacation stays carefree if something unexpected comes up.
