FLORIDA BACK ROADS TRAVEL 
Exploring Off The Beaten Path

Florida Back Roads Travel helps you find the towns, day trips, backroad drives, local eats, historic places, and small surprises that most travelers miss when they stick to the interstates.

If that is your kind of Florida, subscribe to my free Florida Heritage Travel eZine for bite-sized backroads ideas and highlights from the site delivered by email.

Florida has grown fast, and a lot of what longtime residents loved has been paved over or pushed aside by traffic and sprawl.

But underneath all that change, there are still places where Florida's character is alive and well, and those are the roads (and stories) I'm here to help you discover.

This site exists to help you experience those places: the communities, attractions, local eateries, historic sites, and scenic spots that often go unnoticed by travelers who stay on the congested interstates.

These are the roads that take you into the heart of small-town Florida, and the stories that make those roads worth traveling.
