Northwest Florida Day Trips

I-10 is the major east-west interstate in this region. It crosses the state of Florida from Pensacola to Jacksonville.

The interstate exits are crowded with gas stations, fast food restaurants and motels. You can travel the state quickly and easily on this highway, but not see as much scenery or real towns as on our recommended Northwest Florida day trips.

The town signs you do see at these exits are usually several miles from the downtown section. The fun begins when you get off the interstate and hookup with the less traveled roads.

There are many state and county highways off the interstate that offer better scenery and a look at real towns. In Florida, some backroads are even four-laned.

Here are a few Northwest Florida day trips that I recommend:

1. US-90 from Pensacola to DeFuniak Springs through Milton and Crestview. Pretty country and nice little towns. Enjoy the Red Bluffs area as you go through Pensacola with beautiful views of Escambia Bay.
2. Take Circle Drive around the lake in downtown DeFuniak Springs to enjoy looking at the told houses. Then take US-331 to US-98 near Grayton Beach and Seaside. Northwest Florida wooded wilderness, peaceful and quiet.
3. US-98 from Grayton Beach to Pensacola through Destin, Fort Walton Beach, and Gulf Breeze. Beautiful white sand beaches and blue green Gulf of Mexico views.
4. County Road 292 from Pensacola to Perdido Key State Park. Lonely road and beautiful beaches. No camping, but good picnics and beach walks.
