Route & stops
Follow the rural grid to fruit stands, tropical nurseries, and family farms. Sample milkshakes in Homestead, grab hot sauce souvenirs, and continue toward Everglades access points for short boardwalks and wildlife viewing. Build in extra daylight: distances are short but the stops add up, and you’ll want unhurried photos between orchards and sawgrass.
Parking & safety
- Park only in marked lots or legal shoulders—never block driveways or gates.
- Lock the vehicle and keep cameras and bags out of view.
- Carry water and sun protection; shade can be limited in open farm areas.
On the way back, check traffic and refuel near your return lane. Review refueling guidance and return steps in Florida car rental guidance.
Timing & weather
Plan mornings for outdoor wandering; mid‑afternoon heat can be intense from May to September. Summer storms move through quickly—use the pause for a snack break and resume when roads drain. Shoulder seasons are quieter, with easier parking and fewer lines at farm stands.
FAQs
