The highway unfurls like a spine of blue—lanes of asphalt threading small islands and salt flats as the Atlantic and Gulf keep time on either side. You sit back, the bus hums, and the guide’s narration punctuates the rise and fall of bridges, pointing out coral-studded shallows and the rusted remains of the Florida East Coast Railway as you cross the legendary Seven Mile Bridge.
