Coastal Drive: Charleston to Orlando

Driving the coastal route between Charleston and Orlando carries travelers through the rich sea island cultures and maritime oak forests of the deep Southeast. Stop in Savannah to wander manicured garden squares and historic riverfronts, then explore Georgia’s Golden Isles with their Gilded Age cottages and coastal marshes. Crossing into Florida brings you through St. Augustine, the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the United States, before reaching Orlando’s entertainment hubs. It is a scenic route that threads coastal Lowcountry lore directly into sun-soaked Florida history.
