Tips
This iconic bridge is the longest in the Florida Keys, built in 1982 to provide safe stops for visitors to view wildlife and enjoy the stunning green water. The original bridge, constructed in 1912 as a railroad bridge and called the “Eighth Wonder of the World,” was narrow and required focus to cross from Marathon Key to Key West.
Today, the old bridge mainly serves as a resting place for pelicans and great blue herons.
There are some great benches here, and the Sunset Grill is just off the trail, offering delicious food and drinks. It's an ideal spot for a break to enjoy some incredible scenery.April 9, 2025

The old 7 Mile Bridge has been paved and is now a good walking and cycling path.
