Florida
Welcome to Florida
The East Coast Greenway stretches for more than 600 miles across Florida, offering one of the most iconic journeys along the entire route. Entering from Georgia at Fernandina Beach, the Greenway winds through 13 counties before reaching Key West, the southernmost mainland point in the United States. Along the way, travelers experience a predominantly coastal route that passes through seaside villages, some of America’s earliest historic sites, expansive nature preserves and major cities, including Jacksonville and Miami. Much of the Greenway in Florida follows a side path along scenic Highway A1A, providing frequent ocean views and access to beach communities. The journey culminates on the Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail, a 106-mile island-hopping route — more than half of which is already completed as traffic-free trail.

Route Notice
Note: To cross between Georgia and Florida across the St. Marys River, as an alternative to riding Route 17, touring cyclists can call Camden Bicycle Center, 912-576-9696, for an on-road “ferry” (shopping at the bike store encouraged).
Weather tips: When traveling in spring and summer: Please check www.weather.gov for heat warnings and heat advisories, which can be common early in the season. Also exercise caution if a multi-day heat wave is occurring.
Be prepared: Florida’s hurricane season runs June to November.
When traveling in spring and fall: Confirm King Tide dates as these occur in spring and fall. Be aware that the highest tides in the southeast part of the region happen in fall, leading to major flooding which impacts portions of the route.
Traveling by train? Here are some quick tips when using Amtrak with your bike: Do your research in advance; each train line features different bike rack equipment and loading procedures. Check Amtrak for the latest and when in doubt: call the station if you have questions.
