Places to Stop on a Road Trip to Florida
Massachusetts
Boston
Our first stop along I-95 southbound is the great city of Boston. This historic city bordering Massachusetts Bay has plenty of character in addition to excellent food, a legendary brewery, top-notch sports, and nightlife galore. You could easily spend a full week here and still not cover most of the city, so here are a couple of highlights for a small taste of what Boston has to offer:Rhode Island
Newport
The smallest state in the U.S. squeezes a lot into its tiny borders, but The Breakers in Newport is simply a fascinating place to stop at during your road trip to Florida. This grand mansion built by the Vanderbilt family in 1893 looks out over the Atlantic Ocean from its stone bluff. The opulent interior and stunning grounds make this gorgeous home look like its straight out of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby.
Virginia
Richmond
The capital city of Virginia is usually forgotten when compared to Washington D.C. to the north, but Richmond rewards travelers that stop here on their way down I-95. In addition to a nice list of accommodations, Richmond has plenty of great places to eat and several nature parks around the city. It’s also a great way to avoid all of the traffic headaches caused by D.C.
South Carolina
Latta
Most travelers driving through South Carolina don’t even realize that the small and charming town of Latta sits just 10 minutes from I-95 and provides a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of the highway.
