# Florida Peninsula road trips

Old Florida below the tourist line: springs and cracker cattle, treasure fleets, mermaid shows since 1947, the beach road Flagler built and the swamp road that nearly broke the men who built it. Nearly everything here predates the Mouse, and most of it outclasses him.

The Florida Peninsula has 10 back-roads routes, about 1,490 miles and 73 curated stops, and 5 ready-made itineraries use them.
