The Overseas Highway is not just a way to reach the Keys. It is the trip. Bridges, water, old rail history, pull-offs, and changing light do most of the work.
Key West is mythic because it sits at the end of the road. But the best trip is still built with restraint: walk more, drive less, and leave space for the strange edges.
The fishing bridges of the Keys are not just places to cast a line. They are roadside culture, public access, old engineering, and the soul of the Overseas Highway.
