To the south there is Miami and if you keep going you come to the southernmost point in the continental U.S. This string of islands, or keys a they are known, are connected by a series of bridges over the sea. At the very end is an island called Key West, which has a really cool laid back atmosphere. At this point, you will be closer to Havana in Cuba, than Miami back on the mainland.
