Historic Route 60

Stretching from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean, Route 60 is Florida’s coast-to-coast adventure.

This historic highway connects Clearwater Beach on the west coast to Vero Beach on the east, winding through charming small towns, citrus country, and vibrant city centers along the way. It’s the thread that ties together Florida’s past, present, and future.

Route 60 is more than a highway; it’s a journey through the heart of the Sunshine State that reveals the real Florida: sun-kissed beaches, hidden gems, family-owned restaurants, art-filled downtowns, and endless opportunities to explore. Whether you’re a lifelong Floridian or a first-time visitor, Route 60 invites you to slow down, take the scenic route, and discover something unforgettable.
