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.

At eShores, our travel experts will create a tailored itinerary, booking your accommodations, and recommending the best routes so you can focus on enjoying an unforgettable road trip through Florida.
A road trip from Florida to California covers about 2,500 miles and takes roughly 7–10 days with stops.

We have been booking our holidays through Nick at Eshores for quite a few years now and our trips have always been very well organised, Nicks attention to detail is spot on, he knows what types of locations we love, and we trust his opinions and suggestions. That’s the reason we’ve just booked two more…
Many thanks again to Kadie for sorting our holiday. This is the second time and very happy to return for help again after the totally amazing trip she arranged to Vietnam. One small blip on accommodation at one resort last time but eShores staff responded quickly and everything was easily sorted. Highly recommend eShores to…
This is the second time using e-Shores and we can't recommend them highly enough. Emily, who we've worked with on both occasions, is extremely professional, knowledgeable, diligent and has made great suggestions. The process of getting quotes, booking and making payments has been painless and I'd say we will be regular cuatomers going forward.
Amazing service
We travelled with eShores to Andalucia last year, and Emily did an amazing job of compiling an itinerary with good but affordable hotels - we would heartily recommend each one that she chose for us, and all the arrangements between cities worked beautifully. This year we have gone back to her for another holiday and…
This is my second holiday with eshore. The service I received was excellent. Kelly was very professional, understood all my requirements and booked a fantastic holiday for us. It was a very pleasant experience dealing with Kelly and definitely recommend friends to book holidays with her. A real 5 star service.
As always, our go-to girl came through with a fab itinerary for our very last minute booking to USA. Kadie arranged another 3 city break and made sure everything fitted in with our requirements. Always use eShores for our bespoke long distance travels and they never fail to provide excellent service.
eShores is a fantastic company for crafting tailor made itineraries. I have just booked my fourth trip with them, this time to Colombia. Gavin was exceptionally helpful and nothing was too much trouble in meeting my wishes even though it requred a lot of back and forth adjustments. If this is anything like my previous…
Matt Got us everything we wanted for our USA trip
I have yet to take the holiday so I can't comment on the hotels and transport provided etc but Nick was very helpful with the booking. Despite me asking numerous questions he sorted out exactly what I asked for within my budget. Thank you
So far our experience with eShores has been great. Of course the real test will be when we are on holiday so hopefully this will continue :)
