The Atlas/Florida/Overseas Highway (US-1) — Florida Keys

Overseas Highway (US-1) — Florida Keys

The 113-mile Overseas Highway runs from Key Largo to Key West along US-1, island-hopping across 42 bridges over the open ocean. Designated an All-American Road in 2009 — one of only 31 in the country — it follows the former right-of-way of Henry Flagler's Overseas Railroad, destroyed in the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane. The centerpiece is the 6.79-mile Seven Mile Bridge between Marathon and Little Duck Key. Riders have the Atlantic Ocean on the left and the Gulf of Mexico on the right for much of the route. Winds can be significant on the exposed bridges; lane widths are generous but traffic is heavy in winter tourist season.

Bahia Honda State Park — Old Bridge Overlook
Florida
Bahia Honda State Park at 36850 Overseas Highway (MM 37, Big Pine Key) contains the remnant of Henry Flagler's 1912 Overseas Railroad bridge — a 5,055-foot structure that was hailed as an engineering marvel of the Western Hemisphere. A trail leads from the park up onto the elevated deck of the old bridge, providing a panoramic 360-degree view of the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and the chain of keys stretching in both directions. The park also has three distinct beaches rated among the best in Florida. Entry fee is required ($8 per vehicle). The old bridge reopened for pedestrian and cyclist access following restoration work.

Big Bend Scenic Byway (US-98) — Gulf Coast
Florida
A 220-mile loop from Tallahassee along the Gulf Coast through Florida's largely undiscovered Big Bend region, where the state's northern coast curves westward. The primary motorcycle segment follows US-98 from Apalachicola east through Carabelle, Panacea, and Wakulla County — roughly 40 miles where the highway hugs the coastline closely with open Gulf views and light traffic. The loop also includes a forest trail section on SR-20 through the 632,000-acre Apalachicola National Forest. The Apalachicola estuary produces 90% of Florida's oysters. Known locally as Florida's Forgotten Coast for its absence of high-rise development.
