Sunset Sunday – A Sunset Meal and Magic at Marker 88

Meals at sunset in the Florida Keys can be found up and down US1, the Overseas Highway. Directions to any of the places to watch the magic will also always include a mile marker. Of the 110 plus miles (or markers) from the mainland to Key West (mm 0), I’d recommend a few along the […]
