My wife and I are driving from Wisconsin to the Keys in two weeks for 5 days of diving. We have built one extra day into our schedule on the way down for some sight-seeing. We are thinking of stopping in Jacksonville to visit JU (I attended in 1987) and then drive down the coast until we get near the Everglades National Park and then goofing around there for half a day or so.
I assume we'll drive all of A1A, but what parts of the Florida coast do you think are the most scenic when driving on US1?
More importantly, what parts are not very scenic, but just lots of stop and go city traffic we should avoid in order to get to the Everglades faster?
I'm referring to the parts of the coast south of St. Augustine and down to Florida City, not US1 from there to Key West, which we're already familiar with.
Thanks for your input.
