Gilbert's Resort: 2007-12-29

As one heads south on US-1 / Overseas Highway, Gilbert's Resort is found just before the bridge that leads to mainland Key Largo. Outdoor waterfront setting, good food, friendly service, lots of well-lit parking. The Tiki Bar's palm-frond covered stage has direct access to the parking lot.
 

When you see mile marker 107.9, slow down because you are almost there. Make a right turn just before the first bridge that connects to mainland Key Largo. As there is much vegetation, this sign will help.
 

Stay to the left to reach the Tiki Bar.
 

The band Mystic Blue (soon to be Metropolis) on stage at Gilbert's Resort.
 

To musicians, this is special: the stage has direct parking lot access.
 

in the distance, left of the tables, is the stage with two black speaker columns. Not far behind me is the waterfront.
 

I took a few steps back and turned to my right to take this shot.
 

I turned 180 degrees for this serene view.
 

Another Tiki Bar view. Not visible is the stage further ahead.
 

To the right is part of a food/drink counter.

The map's blue marker may point to the 107.9 mile marker. Gilbert's Resort is a little further south... it's the tiny white peninsula with a green area to its left. In rural areas, addresses are often imprecise.
