Florida Residents ?

Hello!

I was just curious how long the ride is by car from West Palm Beach Airport to Key West?

I don't live in South Florida, but I would guess somewhere around 4 hours.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Depending on the time of day you're driving, about 4-4 1/2 hours. It's a pretty easy drive until you hit Broward/Dade area, then it's usually smooth sailing.
Avoid rush hour at all costs!

I would budget about 4-5 hours. The ride isn't so bad until you exit the mainland of Florida and hit the keys. While they are interesting to see, a world all their own, it's not highway driving. It's one lane (SOMETIMES two) in and out. So all it takes is one accident and you are stopped completely. I have driven to Key West from Fort Lauderdale area and had it take 3 and a half hours and I have also had it take nearly 5 hours, so it varies a lot! If you haven't been there, it's really worth the drive!
