12 Incredible Stops on the Ultimate Florida Road Trip in 2025

There are some places you have to stop on a Florida road trip. Let me show you the best places in Florida to add to your road trip itinerary…

This Florida road trip itinerary starts in Destin in North Florida on the Florida panhandle, and will take you east across Central Florida, down, to the west, and then back down again to South Florida, into Miami. I also have suggestions for if you want to go even further, into the Keys.

You’ll cover a lot of ground in the Sunshine State with this route!

Holiday to Florida

There’s a lot to see on a Florida road trip though, so if you’ve only got a week in Florida, or even two, you need to be selective. I’ve been to Florida many times, and can totally help with picking the cream of the crop so you have the best road trip in Florida possible.

Doing this road trip to Florida was brilliant. I got to see so much of the state. Before I planned my Florida road trip I only had a vague knowledge of some of the stops, while others I had none! That’s one of the best parts about going on a Florida road trip like this, you get to try things you wouldn’t normally. It’s definitely one of my favourite road trips I’ve done in the United States.

So apart from a few incidents with our rented car, which I’ll go into later, we had fun our road trips in Florida and I want to show you how to do the same.
