State Road A1A (SR A1A) is a major north–southFlorida State Road consisting of seven separate sections running a total of 338.752 miles (545.168 km) along theAtlantic Ocean, fromKey West at the southern tip ofFlorida, toFernandina Beach, just south ofGeorgia onAmelia Island, before turning inland toCallahan. It is the main road through most oceanfront towns. Part of SR A1A is designated theA1A Scenic and Historic Coastal Byway, aNational Scenic Byway.[2] SR A1A is famous worldwide as a center of beach culture in the United States, a scenic coastal route through most Atlantic coastal cities and beach towns, including the unique tropical coral islands of the Florida Keys. SR A1A also serves as a major thoroughfare throughMiami Beach and other south Florida coastal cities.
A portion of SR A1A that passes throughVolusia County is designated theOrmond Scenic Loop and Trail, aFlorida Scenic Highway. It is also called theIndian River Lagoon Scenic Highway fromState Road 510 atWabasso Beach toU.S. Route 1 inCocoa. In 2024, the entirety of Highway A1A, from Key West to Yulee, was designated theJimmy Buffett Memorial Highway. Other than SR A1A Alternate (nowSR 811,CR 707,SR 732, and an extension ofSR 842), only two other Florida state roads have begun with a letter:SR A19A (now a loop ofSR 693–SR 699–SR 682 nearSt. Petersburg), andSR G1A (nowSR 300).
The road was designated asState Road 1 in the1945 renumbering, mostly replacing the formerState Road 140 designation. The number reflected its location in the new grid as the easternmost major north–south road. About a year and a half later, in November 1946, the State Road Board resolved to renumber the route due to confusion with the parallelU.S. Highway 1. The new designation, A1A, was chosen to keep the number 1 in its place in the grid.[3][4]
TheEast Coast Greenway, a system of trails that connectsMaine to Florida, travels along sections of SR A1A.

SR A1A is heavily associated with Florida beach culture and is known for its lushtropical andsubtropical scenery and ocean vistas. In many places, the highway runs directly along the waterfront of the Atlantic Ocean, but in other places, it runs one to five blocks inland from the beachfront. For most of its length, SR A1A runs along Florida's East Coast Barrier Islands, separated from the mainland of the state by theIntracoastal Waterway. Because of the proximity of the highway to the ocean and its susceptibility tostorm surges, sections of SR A1A are often closed or damaged byhurricanes andtropical storms.
SR A1A also has been a backbone of Florida'sspring break serving as "the strip" in bothFort Lauderdale – a popular spring break destination during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s – andDaytona Beach, which became a popular destination for college spring breaks during the 1970s. Today, SR A1A serves as more a main coastal highway that connects beach towns for more than 375 miles (600 km) along Florida's east coast.

Though SR A1A runs from Key West to north of Jacksonville, the designation is not one continuous route. In some areas such as the Florida Keys, there is no oceanfront highway (other than theOverseas Highway, US 1), other parts of the coast are served by county roads (sometimes designatedCounty Road A1A) rather than state roads, and still other areas are restricted by geography (inlets) or usage (e.g. nature preserves and theKennedy Space Center). The longest of the route's seven sections runs 106 miles (171 km) fromStuart toCocoa, while three of the sections are less than 10 miles (15 km) long
The southern terminus of the first section of SR A1A is at the southern end of Bertha Street, where SR A1A begins as a two-lane, then a four-lane highway along theStraits of Florida inKey West, known locally as South Roosevelt Boulevard. The road heads east pastEast Martello Tower andKey West International Airport, before curving north with an intersection withCR 5A (Flagler Avenue), followed by the northern terminus of the Key West section of SR A1A,U.S. Route 1 andState Road 5 (theOverseas Highway). Running along the south shore of Key West, SR A1A is the southernmost numbered highway in the lower 48 states.

SR A1A reappears atInterstate 395 andUS 1 inMiami, beginning atMacArthur Causeway before becomingCollins Avenue at Fifth Street inMiami Beach (or, in small segments, Harding Avenue, Abbott Avenue, or Indian Creek Drive), serving as one of Miami Beach's main north — south thoroughfares. Just north in the town ofSurfside, the northbound is Collins Avenue, and the southbound is Harding Avenue. InBal Harbour it is called Bal Harbour Boulevard. InGolden Beach it is called Ocean Boulevard.
It servesHallandale Beach,Hollywood Beach, andDania Beach. It joins with US 1 for 3.4 miles, and passes theFort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport. It then divides and servesFort Lauderdale,Pompano Beach, and continuing north.
It serves as the main road throughout much of the exclusivePalm Beach, further to the north.
In the area ofVero Beach, SR A1A is called the Robert C. Spillman Memorial Highway, and it spansSebastian Inlet at theSebastian Inlet Bridge.
SR A1A next passes just to the west ofCape Canaveral and theJohn F. Kennedy Space Center.
Two miles of SR A1A were used as part of the well-knownDaytona Beach Road Course.
SR A1A also passes throughSt. Augustine, the oldest continuously-inhabited city on the mainland of the United States.
SR A1A is called 3rd Street inJacksonville Beach andNeptune Beach.

Just south ofAtlantic Beach, SR A1A turns inland for several blocks, following Atlantic Boulevard, before resuming a northward course along Mayport Road that ends at theSt. Johns River. Aferry takes traffic to the northern section of SR A1A that continues along the coast to just south ofFort Clinch State Park on the estuary of theSaint Mary's River. At that point SR A1A hooks back south toFernandina Beach and then turns west, going inland 20 miles throughYulee and crossingI-95 andU.S. Highway 17. It ends atU.S. Highway 1,U.S. Highway 23, andU.S. Highway 301 inCallahan. This section west of Fernandina Beach, is also marked asSR 200, but SR A1A signs are displayed at every cluster of signs, though a designated direction is only above the SR 200 signs.




Prior to the1945 renumbering, the route that became SR 1 had the following numbers:


SR 1 was defined in the1945 renumbering as:

Since then, the following changes have been made:

TheJungle Trail (pre-1945State Road 252) was part of A1A in northeasternIndian River County, Florida. The narrow,7+1⁄2-mile-long (12.1 km) road is located between Old Winter Beach Road and the current A1A, along the western side ofOrchid Island, and is unpaved.[5] It is part of theIndian River Lagoon Scenic Highway system, and the southernmost road in the highway system. Part of the trail goes through thePelican Island National Wildlife Refuge.
The road started as a means to quickly transport citrus to packinghouses on the mainland, then in the 1930s and 1940s became more used by tourists.[6][7] On August 1, 2003, it was added to the United StatesNational Register of Historic Places.[8]

County Road A1A is acounty road in four counties in the U.S. state ofFlorida. The route is discontinuous and functions as a spur of State Road A1A.
CR A1A in Palm Beach County is a former routing of SR A1A throughJuno Beach andJupiter. It serves as a paralleling alternate route to Federal Highway (US 1), and is often erroneously signed as SR A1A despite its official county designation and maintenance.
The longest of the four county spurs, County Road A1A is 15.88-mile (25.56 km) that runs along theFlorida East Coast Railroad main line fromJonathan Dickinson State Park inHobe Sound toStuart, where it suddenly changes course and runs east along the south coast of theSt. Lucie River. After the terminus of SR 714, it approaches theEvans Crary Bridge separating Stuart andSewall's Point and becomes SR A1A.

County Road A1A is a 7-mile (11 km)spur route of State Road A1A inVolusia County, Florida, United States. The route begins at 6th Avenue on the beachside ofNew Smyrna Beach, Florida at the southern terminus of a segment of State Road A1A. At the intersection of 27th Avenue, the road becomes 2lanes wide. Less than a mile south of New Smyrna Beach, Saxon Drive ends. AtBethune Beach, the road slightly turns away from the Atlantic Ocean. The road becomes Turtle Mound Road at that point. After Bethune Beach, the road is midway between theIntracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean. At this point, a gate brings access toCanaveral National Seashore. It passes through theghost town ofEldora. The road ends as adead end at a beach.
County Road A1A is a 3.40-mile (5.47 km) spur route of SR A1A inSt. Augustine Beach that runs closer to the Atlantic Ocean than SR A1A. It runs northeast from SR A1A, but begins to straighten out between John Drive and a private driveway south of F Street. The closest thing resembling a major intersection is 16th Street. After passing by the St. Johns County Ocean Pier, the road intersects Pope Road and leaves the city limits, where it entersAnastasia State Park, and makes a sharp curve to the west. Once the road leaves the park, it features an exceptionally long west-to-north turning ramp towards SR A1A, but ends at the intersection of SRs A1A and312.
Please be advised that the State Road Board adopted a Resolution in their meeting on November 25, 1946, held in Tallahassee. Florida, changing the new State Road Number 1 to State Road Number A1A. The necessity for changing this Highway Number was because of confusion which has been experienced by the traveling public where US 1 and SR 1 are common or intersect each other. State Road A1A, formerly SR 1, is the easternmost road along the Eastern Seaboard and extends from Jacksonville with intermittent sections to Miami.
