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 beaches are plentiful. South of Jupiter, campgrounds for tenting are almost nonexistent until south of Miami. On the highway to Key West there are generous shoulders, though we recommend using the Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail. Bahia Honda State Park, north of Key West, offers multiple opportunities to enjoy and learn about the reef environment of the Keys. To create a loop route from Key West, a ferry is available to Fort Myers where it is possible to join the Florida Connector route and return to Fort Lauderdale. Space is limited on the ferries, so when you make your reservation, be sure to let them know in advance that you have a bike. Click on enlargement for detail.
