1 / 5
Gulf Coast + Keys
Adding 1 day turns this into a slower 6-day drive from New Orleans to Key West, with the extra time used to break up the big Florida push instead of rushing straight from the Panhandle to Tampa.

Heads Up
- 1. build in sunscreen, water, and bug spray for the marsh/spring stops
- 2. book Key West lodging early because last-minute prices can sting
- 3. on the final day, keep the Everglades stop short so you still hit the Keys in daylight
- 4. Day 6: 7h 35m driving — plan rest stops
