Discovered by Ponce De Leon on May 12, 1513, the Florida Keys proper are an elongated, curved chain of low lying islands over 220 miles in length. They extend from the southeastern tip of the Florida peninsula to the Dry Tortugas and lie between the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. The Keys are separated from the mainland by Biscayne Bay, Barnes Sound, Blackwater Sound and Florida Bay. Monroe County is made up of 822 islands, although only about 30 of them are actually inhabited. There are 42 bridges connecting more than 100 islands over a 126 mile distance. three have been named National Historic Sites (old Seven Mile, Bahia Honda and Long Key). On the Overseas Highway, 18.8 miles comprises bridges -15% of the total travel time is spent on bridges.
(1 mile = 5, 280 feet). The highest point in the Keys, only 18 feet above sea level, lies on Windley Key. Just miles offshore on the Atlantic side of the Keys is the only living coral reef in the continental United States. No point, in the Keys, is more than 4 miles from water. Monroe County is the southernmost county in Florida and the United States. The Keys are islands of rock, therefore sandy beaches are not common and are mostly restricted to the Atlantic side of the larger islands. Geographically and physiographically, the Florida Keys are built on top of the submerged foothills of the very old Appalachian mountains.
