Florida Road Trip: Orlando, Miami & the Keys

Theme parks, South Beach and the Overseas Highway to the islands.

Start with Orlando’s theme parks, drive south to Miami for Art Deco, Cuban food and South Beach, then take the Overseas Highway out across the water to the Florida Keys, one of America’s great drives.

Why it works

Florida stacks three different holidays down one interstate: parks for the family, a great city beach break, and an island-chain finale on a road that hops from key to key across the sea.
