Seven Mile Bridge

So honestly you need to travel the 7 mile bridge even if you don't intend to travel further than Marathon Key. The beautiful azure and turquoise water on either side of you and let's not forget Fred the tree the Keys icon...iykyk.

Such an amazing experience to drive on these beautiful island and ocean. When I first saw this on the map, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Visiting and driving by car, it makes sense, but still it was a beautiful experience. The sunset from here is just mesmerizing. Just go, and enjoy the ride.

A beautiful bridge with spectacular scenery and an amazing driving experience as well as opportunities for hiking and biking The view is mesmerizing and breathtaking

We pass this multiple times during our trip to Key West, and every time we pass it ,we still feel nostalgic. It is historical. Has plenty of parking. Enjoy 😉 the view of sunrise or sunset. Photos and videos posted were taken while we were driving already (cuz we forgot to take some) while we were visiting the area.

Great walk with beautiful views at sunset. These pictures are of Little Money Key taken from the Seven Mile Fishing Bridge at sunset. Bridge is a good place to drop a line and see what you can catch for dinner. Took these wonderful pictures of Little Money Key at sunset. Little Money Key is another of those places you wonder about. It’s my understanding that The Kyle Family has owned this little gem since 1972. In the mid 2000’s they had to put signs up to keep people from trespassing. Admire it from afar and respect their ownership. Money Key on the other side of the bridge was so named because pirate booty was found buried there. Put on your walking shoes and bring a pole and enjoy the Seven Mile Bridge.

I was driving through the Florida Keys and decided to stop here to take some photos. I’m very glad I did. I ended up walking nearly half the length of the bridge before realizing that I have to walk back to my car. If I hadn’t forgotten to put on sunscreen, I probably would’ve walked the entire bridge. It’s clean and not crowded at all offering spectacular views. This is a must stop while driving the Keys.

On a sunny day... The water color makes my brain hurt. You'd think you're on an alien planet. Turquoise and emerald.. It is one of the most beautiful places I have had the pleasure of visiting.

We walked Seven Mile Bridge on New Year’s weekend after passing it on our previous trips to the Keys. The bridge is 2+ miles each direction so about 4.2 round trip if you go all the way & back. The distance is well marked along the bridge & I would recommend estimating 25-30 min per mile to account for stopping if you plan to watch for ocean life in between walking etc. It took us about 1.5hrs (2 adults) so I recommend planning for at least that amount of time to walk the whole thing. We had a gorgeous sunset & spotted nurse sharks, a reef shark & sea turtles surfacing while there. There are no bathrooms at either end so plan accordingly. The parking lot is also small so plan for time to wait on a space if you go during peak hours. I also highly recommend coming prepared with water, sunscreen, sunglasses &/or hat/umbrella/shade during warmer parts of the day (even in winter!) and year.
