Discover the best of the Sunshine State on a Florida road trip. Beyond the theme parks, you’ll find incredible adventures on the open road. From the alligator-filled wetlands of the Everglades to the world-famous Overseas Highway down to Key West, a road trip through Florida is full of culture and coastal beauty. Take a look at our top itineraries for exploring Florida by car.
A Florida road trip lets you experience so much more than just the theme parks. With the freedom of the open road, you can discover the state’s incredible variety, from vast wetlands and buzzing cities to relaxed islands and hidden coastal gems, all in one unforgettable journey.
Nature lovers will love cruising through the Everglades, spotting alligators, manatees, and countless bird species along the way. For culture, drive the I-95 to Miami, famous for its Art Deco architecture, vibrant streets, and white-sand beaches. History enthusiasts can explore St. Augustine, the oldest European settlement in the U.S., with its cobbled streets and centuries-old forts.
And no Florida Keys road trip is complete without the breathtaking Overseas Highway, one of the world’s most scenic drives. Spanning 42 bridges across tropical waters, it connects the islands all the way to stunning Key West.
Florida’s well-maintained roads and clear signage make driving here simple and stress-free. With year-round sunshine, incredible wildlife, beautiful beaches, and some of the most iconic drives in America, a road trip through Florida is one of the best ways to experience the Sunshine State, and you can still include the theme parks as part of your adventure.

Always great service and every holiday we have booked Dave has been so patient and understanding of what we wanted from each trip.
Although my holiday is still some months in the future, the services provided by eShores (Dave Felton) have been exemplary. I never, ever use travel agents or intermediaries for holidays but a potential business class trip to Lombok and Bali presented new challenges in not knowing those islands. I laid out my general requirements and…
Great service prompt and great deal
