Welcome

The Florida Department of Transportation operates 53 rest areas at 35 sites along Florida's interstate highways to provide safe, secure and comfortable rest stops for Florida travelers. Rest areas are generally located about 45 minutes traveling time apart. These rest areas provide restrooms, picnic areas (in most locations), pet walk areas, telephones and vending machines to aid travelers seeking a break from a long drive. More Information...
