Hitchhiking down the Florida Keys is easy and you can always use the local buses to get all the way down to Key West. Hitching back up north proves more difficult. Good time to go is when Fantasy Fest is happening, a week-long street party in October, I found this celebration to be better than Mardi Gras!

== Law ==
316.130 Pedestrians; traffic regulations.—
The way this is worded makes hitchhiking laws completely open to interpretation. If an officer tells you not to hitchhike where you are hitchhiking it is probably best to move on.
=== Local Laws ===
In [[Monroe County]] (which comprises Key Largo, Marathon and [[Key West]] and everywhere in between) hitchhiking is illegal and the Monroe County Sheriff are pretty harsh on this.
=== Federal Districts ===
'''Note''':All land owned by the National Park service prohibits hitchhiking under the Code of Federal Regulations Title 36 section 4.31: Hitchhiking or soliciting transportation is prohibited ''except in designated areas and under conditions established by the superintendent.''
*Gulf Islands National Seashore 4.31 has not been amended here, so hitchhiking is prohibited.
