Starting in St. Augustine, the route is urban/suburban most of the way down the coast through Miami. SR A1A along the ocean is adjacent to multiple aquatic preserves and wildlife refuges. Opportunities to enjoy the beach are plentiful and the county parks often include such amenities as picnic tables, cold water, showers and toilets. South of Jupiter, campgrounds for tenting are almost nonexistent until south of Miami. On the road to Key West the roadways have generous shoulders, though we recommend using the bike paths. Bahia Honda State Park, north of Key West, offers multiple opportunities to enjoy and learn about the reef environment of the Keys. Choose from activities such as snorkeling, windsurfing and visiting the museum exhibits. To create a loop route from Key West, a ferry is available to Fort Myers where it is possible to join the Florida Connector map route and return to Fort Lauderdale. Space is limited on the ferries, so when you make your reservations, be sure to let them know in advance that you have a bike.

The last half-mile of the route winds through three small squares in the historic district. The route south from Statesboro is rural and occasionally traverses pine plantations. A highlight of this section is the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, located on the Okefenokee Alternate. Expect urban riding conditions while skirting Jacksonville, Florida, and the string of beach comunities to the south. Roads in northern Florida have somewhat higher traffic levels than found in Georgia. The route ends in historic St. Augustine, FL. Click on enlargement for detail.
