Key Largo

Key Largo (Spanish: Cayo Largo) is an island in the upper Florida Keys archipelago and is the largest section of the keys, at 33 miles (53 km) long. It is one of the northernmost of the Florida Keys in Monroe County and the northernmost of the keys connected by U.S. Highway 1 (the Overseas Highway).

Three census-designated places (CDPs) are on the island of Key Largo: North Key Largo (near the Card Sound Bridge), Key Largo (roughly 8–9 miles (13–14 km) from the island's southernmost point), and Tavernier (at the island's south end). As of 2020, these three CDPs have a combined population of 16,408. None of Key Largo is an incorporated municipality; it is governed, at the local level, by Monroe County. Key Largo is connected to the mainland of Miami-Dade County by two routes, the Overseas Highway (the southernmost portion of U.S. Highway 1, which enters Key Largo at Jewfish Creek near the middle of the island before turning southwest) and Card Sound Road, which connects to the northern end of Key Largo and runs southeastward, connecting with County Road 905, which runs southwest and joins U.S. 1 around mile marker 106. These routes originate at Florida City on the mainland. Key Largo...
