Historic trees are found all along the Corridor. These trees create a very scenic Corridor with a full canopy
stretching over the roadway. Historic structures are predominantly found in the southern section of the
Corridor and vary in age and function although most serve as single family residences. Panoramic views of
the shorelines are available at several locations along the Corridor.
Bulow Creek and Tomoka State Park
The State Parks offer many scenic vistas through a variety of habitats. Areas within the Parks are
photographed by residents and visitors as representative of native Florida landscapes.
Ocean Shore Boulevard and the North Peninsula State Park
Ocean Shore Boulevard (SR A1A) runs along the Atlantic Ocean and offers breathtaking views of the Atlantic
Ocean and natural dunes. Public parking is provided at multiple lots located along Ocean Shore Boulevard and
a separate paved bicycle/pedestrian path runs along the length of Ocean Shore Boulevard. The North
Peninsula state Park offers scenic Florida scrub habitat as it stretches from the Atlantic Ocean to the Halifax
River.
John Anderson Drive
This road takes travelers along the banks of the Halifax River (Intracoastal Waterway) along a hammock of
twisted palms, oaks, and pines, which form a canopy over the roadway. The southern portion of the roadway
is flanked with stately homes with views of the river peeking out from between the structures.
