Sunset over the Seven Mile Bridge

Sunset over the Seven Mile Bridge

When taking good photos is a big point of your trip—sunsets are always high on the 'to do' list. And even if it's not, when you visit somewhere like the Florida Keys, getting in a good sunset is an important part of the experience.
There are a lot of good sunset opportunities to be had in the Keys, and because good photo opps are an important thing I look for when I travel, I'll be reviewing more than one of them. But this first one is the one I got the best shots of, and is a great experience in the keys as well as photo opportunity.
The road nearing the famous Seven Mile Bridge to Key West (as filmed in True Lies)is lined with palm trees, and is an excellent place to get shots and sit and view the sunsets the keys have to offer.
We drove up just as the sun was beginning to lower in the sky, and joined the other groups of people waiting to watch. To this day I would rank the Florida Keys highly in the best sunsets I've ever seen, and even if you have no interest whatsoever in taking photos of this, it's something you really shouldn't miss on a trip to the keys.
And as I generally make a point of mentioning, it's something you can do that won't cost any money at all.

What can anyone say about the Seven Mile Bridge in the Florida Keys but AWESOME!! On our recent vacation to the Keys we had to drive the bridge 6 times, and each time was a wonder!! How man can create such a structure is beyond me.

The History Channel recently did a special on the Overseas Highway of the Florida Keys, and the Seven Mile Bridge was truly one of the marvels on the segment "Magnificent Marvels". You have to experience to believe it.

Seven Mile Bridge

The beautiful views from Seven Mile Bridge are amazing and are probably the highlight of the lengthy journey down US 1 from Miami to Key West. The water below is crystal clear, and you can't help but squint your eyes and search for animals swimming about. Standing next to the highway are the remains of the old Seven Mile Bridge. It was put out of commission years ago but can still be utilized by individuals for biking and rollerblading.
