Cruise the coast from Palm Beach to Miami Beach, one beach town at a time.
Why A1A is the best road in South Florida
Highway A1A is the coastal spine of South Florida, a ribbon of asphalt that hugs the Atlantic from Palm Beach down through Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood and into Miami Beach. It’s not the fastest way to get anywhere, and that’s exactly the point. This is a road for lingering: salt breeze, ocean glimpses and slow rolls past some of the most beautiful beach towns in the country. In a Polaris Slingshot, A1A stops being a highway and becomes the whole vacation.
Starting in Palm Beach
Kick off up north where Ocean Boulevard runs along the barrier island of Palm Beach. Here A1A is all old-money elegance: neatly trimmed hedges, glimpses of the sea and easy access to Worth Avenue’s boutiques. We serve the Palm Beaches.
Through Fort Lauderdale
As you roll into Fort Lauderdale, A1A becomes a showpiece. The beachfront strip runs right along the sand, with the low wave wall, swaying palms and that unmistakable resort-town energy. Detour inland a few blocks to Las Olas Boulevard for cafes and galleries. It’s conveniently close to our Fort Lauderdale pickup at the GALLERYone Hotel.
Hollywood Beach and the Broadwalk
Continue south and you’ll reach Hollywood, home to the Broadwalk, a brick-paved oceanfront promenade buzzing with cyclists, joggers and beachgoers. Park nearby and stroll for an ice cream with your toes practically in the sand. Our second location at the Diplomat Beach Resort makes this a natural place to start or end your drive.
Into Miami Beach
The grand finale is Miami Beach, where A1A delivers you to Collins Avenue and the Art Deco district. Cruise Ocean Drive past pastel hotels and neon signs, catch the turquoise water off South Beach, and soak in the energy of one of the most photographed strips on earth. Golden hour here, from an open-air Slingshot, is pure magic. See our Miami rentals.
Tips for the perfect A1A cruise
Go early or late: morning light and sunset both flatter the coast, and traffic is lighter. Build in stops, because beach towns beg for detours. Bring sunscreen, sunglasses and a phone mount for photos. Every rental includes two DOT-approved full-face helmets. And cruise the speed limit; this drive isn’t a race.
