Heading South: The Distance from Marathon to Key West

In the heart of the Florida Keys lies the city of Marathon, a laid-back island town with plenty of beauty. But for those craving a taste of the vibrant energy and eclectic culture of Key West, the question arises: How far is it from Marathon to Key West?

The journey to Key West typically takes an hour to reach the top of Key West. In season, which runs from January to April, it could take an hour and a half. Now, if you are heading to Duval Street, add another 20 minutes or so from the time you enter Key West. Duval Street is pretty deep into Key West, and of course, there is always traffic there.

On the way down to Key West, there always seems to be that one car driving slow. With limited passing areas, you’re often stuck behind slow cars for miles. The bridge near Bahia Honda State Park is one of your chances to pass, as the road opens to two lanes. But remember, don’t speed after getting off that bridge. There are always cops waiting on either end, so make sure you slow down when you’re going down the hill.
