Have you ever wanted to jump on a highway and just drive until the end? Well, when you get on the Overseas Highway you can do just that! Take a ride to the end of the road, check out the mile marker 0 sign, and there’s a bonus…the southernmost point in the United States is also one of the fun-est. You can hang out where Hemingway wrote, slept, and drank or explore the little White House that Truman set up in Key West. Jump on a sailboat and cruise the same waters that the pirates did 200 years ago. Explore museums, dive shipwrecks, snorkel reefs, or just relax on the beach.
