Islamorada's giant lobster by TheTravelSlut, 1 more photos
Once these old Florida icons are gone, I do not think they will ever be replaced and that is almost a shame as they have been fixtures for many decades.
These statues, models, artworks and icons can be found from Mile Marker 0 in Key West all the way north to Key Largo. Some are clearly visible from the road, some are hidden off-road.
Look close and you may see a zebra, a mermaid, and a giant shark. Address: Overseas Highway from Key West to Key LargoDirections: From Mile Marker 0 in Key West to Mile Marker 105 or so.

 Seven Mile Bridge- Florida
Keys by goingsolo
This is one of the longest bridges in the United States. It is actually just under 7 miles, but most folks in the Keys are not bothered by such lack of accuracy. It was built to replace the old Overseas Highway and the old Seven Mile Bridge, which is now closed to motorized traffic although pedestrians are allowed on either end. The old bridge was originally a railroad line which was damaged by a severe Hurricane in the 1930's. The US government converted the old bridge into a highway and it was used until 1980. A tram runs across the still operable portion of the 7 Mile Bridge and takes visitors to Pigeon Key.
The first 2 miles of the old bridge are open to pedestrians. Here you can walk or jog out over the ocean. The new bridge is narrow and stopping is not permitted.
The bridge begins in Marathon on its northern end and ends near Bahia Honda State Park. It has been featured in several action films. Leave a Comment Address: MM 47, Marathon, FloridaDirections: Take US1 (the Overseas Highway) south.

 the bridges by musbars
Islamorada also prides itself as the Sportfishing Capital of the World. Here, you can venture offshore on a charter boat for a chance at the beautiful, acrobatic sailfish or the magnificently colored dolphin fish, a.k.a mahi-mahi. Hire a guide and you can take to the shallow near-shore waters to catch the mysterious ghost of the flats, the bonefish, or venture into the backcountry to catch redfish and tarpon. Leave a Comment
