Best Stops Along I-4 Between Orlando and Daytona Beach
Starting on the west side of Florida in Tampa, running through the heart of downtown Orlando and terminating in the east with Daytona Beach is Interstate 4.
With the final stretch of the highway completed in 1965, it roughly follows the original path of the Sanford-Tampa Rail Line built by Henry Plant in the mid-1880s.
Spanning just over 130-miles, I-4 is known as one of the most heavily-traveled tourism corridors in the nation. The three major Orlando theme parks are just off the route along with other attractions, hotels, restaurants, and plenty more fun things to do.
In this video, we’re traveling a section of the highway to show you what we think are the best stops along I-4 between Orlando and Daytona. Well-known places and some maybe you’ve never heard of.
