Respect the Drive
The distance from Boca Raton to Ocean Reef is roughly ninety miles, but mileage is not the useful number. The useful number is that there is essentially one road south — US-1 through Homestead and onto the eighteen-mile stretch into Key Largo — and when it backs up there is no alternative to take. On a quiet weekday morning the run is close to two hours. On a Friday in season, or a holiday weekend, it can be considerably more. We plan against the road rather than against the map: departure times are set with that variance in mind, and we would rather tell you to leave earlier than deliver you late to an aircraft. From Miami the drive is shorter — 75 to 100 minutes — which is why some guests fly commercial into MIA and transfer down rather than routing everything through Ocean Reef.
