Best Scenic Routes in
Florida
Florida is one of the few
states in America that offers many exhilarating scenic views
for road tourists. If you plan to witness the wonders of the
Sunshine State while in transit, be sure to read on below
for some of the best routes to follow. Depending on your
travel direction, you will surely find the quick rundown of
attractive sites below very helpful if you do not know where
to start.
From Jacksonville to
St. Augustine
If you want to smell the
Atlantic air, leave Jacksonville north through I-95 to A1A.
This will bring you Fernandina Beach. This beautiful city
will let you experience the beauty of the Atlantic all the
way.
Another good place to
stop by is Fort Clinch State Park. This is a favorite
camping ground for tourists and locals alike.
Going south on A1A will
bring you to Amelia Island, where you will find many
inexpensive motels along the road. There are also few
excellent hotels such as the Amelia Island Plantation or the
Ritz-Carlton Hotel. The Amelia Island Beach is a favorite
destination spot for many tourists in Florida.
From St. Augustine to
Daytona Beach
Being one of the oldest
cities in the US, St. Augustine offers many terrific sites
to visit and is, in fact, a favorite vacation destination
for many Americans. Some of the famous spots in this old
city include the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument,
Lightner Museum, the Spanish Quarter, and the Lighthouse
Museum of St. Augustine. If part of the trip includes
gastronomy destinations, you will also find St. Augustine
with lots of good restaurants.
There are also several
picturesque state parks and fine beaches as you continue
south to Daytona.
From Titusville to
Melbourne
Beyond Daytona also lies
another great city, Titusville. This historic city is best
known for the iconic Kennedy Space Center and Canaveral
National Seashore. Both of these sites can be very time
consuming so you will want to spend a day in here alone to
enjoy.
Going to Melbourne means
visiting the Brevard Zoo and the Florida Tech botanical
garden where you will find rare and exotic palms. You can
also spend the night either in Wickam Park or Long Point.
These places are great camping sites in the area.
From Miami to Naples
through I-75
One of the liveliest
places on earth, Miami is the best way to start your
exploration of the Everglades National Park, the only
subtropical park in North America. Going to Naples from
Miami along US41 is both fun and adventure as you pass by
several native Indian reservations and a couple of
interesting parks.
These sites mentioned are
just some of the many amazing places to drop in Florida.
Since the state guarantees almost yearlong sunshine, you can
come anytime without considering the time of the year.
