The '''Florida Keys''' are a [[coral island|coral]] [[cay]] [[archipelago]] off the southern coast of [[Florida]], forming the southernmost part of the continental United States. They begin at the southeastern coast of the Florida [[peninsula]], about {{convert|15|mi|km}} south of [[Miami]] and extend in an arc south-southwest and then westward to [[Key West, Florida|Key West]], the westernmost of the inhabited islands, and on to the uninhabited [[Dry Tortugas]]. The islands lie along the [[Florida Straits]], dividing the [[Atlantic Ocean]] to the east from the [[Gulf of Mexico]] to the northwest, and defining one edge of [[Florida Bay]]. The southern part of Key West is {{convert|93|mi|km}} from [[Cuba]]. The Keys are located between about 24.3 and 25.5 degrees North latitude.

More than 95% of the land area lies in [[Monroe County, Florida|Monroe County]], but a small portion extends northeast into [[Miami-Dade County, Florida|Miami-Dade County]], such as [[Totten Key]]. The total land area is {{convert|137.3|sqmi}}. At the [[2010 United States census|2010 census]] the population was 73,090, with an average density of {{convert|532.34|/sqmi}},<ref name="QuickFacts2014">{{cite web|title=State & County QuickFacts|url=http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/12/12087.html|publisher=United States Census Bureau|access-date=December 25, 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110607002653/http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/12/12087.html|archive-date=June 7, 2011}}</ref> although much of the population is concentrated in a few areas of much higher density, such as the city of Key West, which has 32% of the Keys' total population. The 2014 Census population estimate was 77,136. The 2020 Census population estimate was 82,874.<ref>{{cite web|title=Monroe County, Florida; Key West city, Florida|url=https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/monroecountyflorida,keywestcityflorida/PST045223|publisher=United States Census Bureau|access-date=February 7, 2024}}</ref>

The city of Key West is the [[county seat]] of Monroe County. The county consists of a section on the [[mainland]] which is almost entirely in [[Everglades National Park]], and the Keys islands from [[Key Largo]] to [[Dry Tortugas National Park]].
