What are the best road trip destinations in Florida?

I just moved to Tampa for work, but outside of Ybor City and Channelside, I haven’t done all that much. I was thinking about gearing up for a road trip for a few weeks, but I want to make sure that I visit the best places in the state. What are some of the best road trip destinations in Florida?

Although most tourists prefer to pick a single destination and lay on the beach, exploring
Florida
yields plenty of interesting experiences. For a purely authentic Florida experience, make sure to check out some of the best road trip destinations in Florida:
  • Overseas Highway: Connecting the mainland with Key West, the Overseas Highway takes you over 113 miles of crystal-blue waters until you reach the oddity that is Key West. For a little fun on the way, count all of the 42 bridges that make up the highway.
  • New Smyrna Beach: Supposedly home to the first surfing hot spot on Florida’s Atlantic Coast, New Smyrna Beach offers decent surfing conditions, friendly locals, and a getaway from some of the state’s more crowded beaches.
  • Destin: Although Destin can get overrun with tourists in the summer, a visit any other time of year is a relaxing way to see Florida’s Emerald Coast. Get a room on the beach, bring some friends, and just sit back and soak up the moment.
