FLORIDA DAY TRIPS
|
The Florida day trips and one tank trips on Florida Backroads Travel are designed with the following goals in mind:
- 1. Keeping you away from congested roads, whether in the country or in the cities.
2. Routing you through interesting and scenic areas with old towns, historic buildings and sites, tree canopied roads, forests and farms.
3. Showing you areas of Florida that haven't changed as much in the past 50 years as most of the state has.
4. Never letting your Florida day trips get too far from restaurants, restrooms and gas stations.
5. Keeping you on paved or well maintained roads so that a regular passenger car or motorcycle can make the trip.
I have divided Florida into 8 regions, and each regional web page has a listing of recommended Florida day trips. Each regional web page also has it's own Google Florida state map focused on the region.

Believe it or not, there are still many roads in Florida that haven't changed that much from the old days. If anything, they've been widened and paved for your traveling pleasure.
The road you see in the photo below is in Central East Florida south of Rockledge on the west side of the Indian River Lagoon. You would recognize the scene today if you drove that road.
You can also download a printable Florida map for use in your travels.
Florida Backroads Travel will introduce you to some of the best one tank trips and Florida day trips. One of the great things about Florida is that you are never more than 60 miles from a salt water beach. That is certainly a one tank trip in Florida no matter what kind of gas guzzler you might drive.
Since you are going to be driving all over on your one tank trips in Florida you might need some help finding the best gas prices. Try this!
Florida day trips and one tank trips can be key ingredients that make cheap vacations in Florida entirely possible.
