The Atlas/Florida/Southernmost Point Buoy — Key West

Southernmost Point Buoy — Key West

The Southernmost Point Continental U.S.A. buoy at the corner of South Street and Whitehead Street in Key West is the iconic painted concrete landmark that marks the end of the Overseas Highway run from the mainland — 90 miles from Cuba, 126 miles from Miami. Installed by the City of Key West in 1983, the monument draws a constant stream of visitors year-round. Note: as of September 2025, a temporary buoy replica was placed at Duval Pocket Park (1400 Duval St) while seawall and roadway repairs are underway at the original corner. Check local sources for current status before visiting.

Atlas
// Why riders stop

The natural finish line of any Overseas Highway / US-1 Keys run. Rolling up to this marker on a motorcycle — after 113 miles of bridges and open water from Key Largo — is one of the most satisfying endings to a ride in the American South. Photo queue is real; arrive early or late in the day.

Bahia Honda State Park — Old Bridge Overlook
Florida
Bahia Honda State Park at 36850 Overseas Highway (MM 37, Big Pine Key) contains the remnant of Henry Flagler's 1912 Overseas Railroad bridge — a 5,055-foot structure that was hailed as an engineering marvel of the Western Hemisphere. A trail leads from the park up onto the elevated deck of the old bridge, providing a panoramic 360-degree view of the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and the chain of keys stretching in both directions. The park also has three distinct beaches rated among the best in Florida. Entry fee is required ($8 per vehicle). The old bridge reopened for pedestrian and cyclist access following restoration work.
