Know before you go
State Park Capacity
Parks like Bahia Honda frequently reach capacity by mid-morning on weekends. Entry is not guaranteed once the 'Full' sign is posted at the gate.
Key West Constraints
Public parking in the historic district is extremely limited and managed by meters or residential permits. Utilize park-and-ride lots or lodging-provided spaces whenever possible.
Strategic Refueling
Fuel is readily available in Key Largo and Marathon, but stations are sparse on the long bridge sections. Expect higher costs at remote island marinas compared to the mainland.
Marine Interference
Standard cellular service is reliable along US-1, but can drop once you are several miles offshore for reef activities. Signal strength varies in the remote backcountry of the Lower Keys.
Bridge Transit
The Overseas Highway is a single-entry route; accidents can cause multi-hour delays. Allow significant buffers when traveling to Key West for timed flight departures.

Overseas Highway Access and Reef Protection
State park entry for John Pennekamp or Bahia Honda is separate from boat tour bookings, which often sell out weeks in advance.
