Distance from Airports: 

Allow yourself 2.5 hours from Miami International Airport (110 Miles) and 3 hours from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (135 Miles). During rush hours (6:30am-9:30am & 4:00pm-7:00pm), add 1 hour of travel time. You can fly into Marathon or into Key West but flights are limited and can be expensive. Additionally, rental cars are less expensive on the mainland and the drive down to Marathon is a beautiful drive over 30 bridges connecting the islands of the Florida Keys.

Distance to Key West:

It will take one hour to drive the 54.5 miles to Key West, which includes a trip over the beautiful, famous 7-Mile Bridge. Go slow on the roads of Deer Key because the Key Deer is an endangered species!

Wherever you are right now, chances are the weather is better here in the Florida Keys. 

In the winter, cold fronts can bring frost to mainland Florida, but you can be sure there will be no frost here. The record low for Key West is 41° F (5° C) set in 1981. 

During winter months, it almost never rains. By late May, however, the season's first thundershowers start popping up. Rarely do they stick around long enough to spoil an entire day.

Wise Floridians from the mainland flock to the Keys on the weekends yearlong because the air is usually a few degrees cooler here. The water temperature might be in the mid-80s (30° C) but the sea is nevertheless refreshing for swimming, snorkeling or diving. 

You might be wondering about the Atlantic hurricane season, which can affect the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States as well as the Caribbean and the Bahamas. The official hurricane season begins June 1st and ends on November 30th. Traditionally, the highest potential for storms is between August 15th and October 15th.  However, the daily weather during this period tends to be some of the most beautiful of the year.

The hottest it's ever been in Key West is 97° F (36° C), and that was way back in 1880. At the peak of summer, the average high is 89° F (32° C). We don't have any super-highways or urban sprawl to radiate the sun's heat and our islands are surrounded by cooling ocean waters.
