Florida A1A Scenic & Historic Coastal Byway

United States · FL State Road A1A

The premier coastal touring highway on Florida's Atlantic seaboard, running from historic Amelia Island south through the historic Spanish stone fortifications of St. Augustine to Daytona Beach. Incorporates the Mayport Car Ferry crossing of the St. Johns River, dramatic oceanfront dune corridors, and the canopy-covered live oaks of the Ormond Scenic Loop ('The Loop'). Ocean sea spray, coastal salt air, and rhythmic seaside curves make this an unforgettable sunrise touring route.
