Atlanta to Miami road trip: the drive and a playlist for it
About 660 miles, 10 hours of driving and 20 songs. You'll hear Atlanta first, then Macon, Gainesville and Orlando, and pull into Miami with its own artists.
The drive
How long is the drive from Atlanta to Miami?
About 660 miles. Plan on about 10 hours of driving without stops.
What's the usual route from Atlanta to Miami?
Take I-75 south through Macon and Valdosta into Florida. At Wildwood, about 20 miles past Ocala, get on Florida's Turnpike. It runs south through Orlando and ends at I-95 in Miami Gardens, just north of Miami.
Good places to stop
- Macon, GAThe Allman Brothers Band Museum at The Big House. Little Richard was born here too, and both are on the playlist.
- Valdosta, GAWild Adventures theme park, if the kids need to run around before Florida.
- Gainesville, FLDevil's Millhopper, a big sinkhole with steps and boardwalks down into it, or Paynes Prairie for wild horses and bison.
- Ocala, FLSilver Springs State Park. Ocala is known as the Horse Capital of the World, and there are horse farm tours.
Where the songs fall
The songs follow the road. Macon's play on I-75 in Georgia, Gainesville's come up once you're in Florida, and Orlando's play on the Turnpike.
