Friends of A1A Scenic & Historic Coastal Byway

Description

Friends of A1A Scenic and Historic Coastal Byway is a non-profit organization that protects, preserves and enhances resources along the A1A National Scenic Byway. The organization is a citizen’s group that collaborates with municipalities, government agencies and other civic groups. The mission is to preserve,
protect, promote and enhance the outstanding resources of the Byway, the 72-mile corridor through St. Johns and Flagler counties.

The U.S. Department of Transportation designated the A1A Scenic and Historic Coastal Highway as a National Scenic Byway in 2002. The 72-mile corridor covers both St. Johns and Flagler counties, spanning from the Volusia/Flagler County Line to the St. Johns/Duval County Line on the east coast of Florida. The Byway is one of 150 National Scenic Byways in the country and one of 23 scenic highways in the state of Florida. The A1A Scenic and Historic Coastal Byway emerged from three Florida Scenic Highways originating in the late nineties: A1A Ocean Shore (Flagler-south), A1A River to Sea Trail (Flagler-north), and Scenic and Historic A1A (St. Johns).
