By Melanie Lentz-Janney of AuthenticFlorida.com

Did you know the Florida Scenic Highways Program was established by the Florida
Department of Transportation (FDOT) to showcase the outstanding intrinsic resources
(cultural, historical, archaeological, recreational, natural, and scenic) that can be found along
Florida’s highway system?

The Florida Scenic Highway collection includes 27 state-designated scenic highways. Of
these, consequently, six are further designated at a federal level as National Scenic Byways.
Additionally, the Florida Keys Scenic Highway and A1A Scenic & Historic Coastal Byway are
designated as All-American Roads, judged to have unique features which are nationally
significant, and tourist destinations in themselves.

The program is a grass-roots effort to
heighten awareness of these natural
wonders which enhances the overall
traveling experience in Florida. So carve
out the time and travel off the beaten path.
You won’t be disappointed.

The following is a list of 27 scenic drives
in Florida by region. Get your Google
Maps ready, pack your favorite road trip
snacks, and experience a scenic Florida
road trip!
