Road
quality is excellent with light traffic in the National
Seashore. Rt 1 north from the sea shore is more congested
but still a "country road" - a favorite among motorcyclists.
Several small towns along the way with well maintained roads.

Directions: Start you route in the town of Merritt
Island and cross the Merritt Island Causeway (route 520)
heading west and you'll intersect US 1 and take this north
(turn right) and on up to Titusville. When you get up to Titusville,
take a right at the causeway on Garden Street (which turns
into the Max Brewer Memorial Pkwy) towards Playa Linda and
the Kennedy Space Center. Soon you'll run into SR 3 and want
to take that north (take a left). Take SR 3 north to Oak Hill,
FL, where SR 3 and US 1 meet … continue north and on up to
New Smyrna Beach, FL and take the Smyrna overpass east to
the barrier island and head south on A1A. BJ's is on the right
about 7-9 miles down off of A1A. |
