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.

This needs to be a tailormade road trip, so get in touch to discuss.
