Atlantic Flyway

The Atlantic Flyway is considered to be in New Smyrna Beach, Florida; however, it is actually a scenic drive that leads from New Smyrna Beach to other towns nearby. The drive is a biological highway for sightseeing. Often the highway is a way to see bird species that migrate to Florida for the winter months. There are also native Florida species which can be spotted. Depending on one's knowledge it may be possible to spot at least 250 different bird species as one takes the highway drive.

There are several locations along the way to stop, get out, and view the birds. Along the way there are also Pastime Princess, Turtle Mound National Historic Site, and Mon Delice to enjoy.

The point of the Atlantic Flyway is nothing more than to see bird species, nature, and to get from one point to the next. Travels who really want to get the most out of the scenic byway should stop at the various viewing points with their binoculars to spy the different bird species. If one is lucky other native Florida animals can be seen. There are water ways and marshes, which also house alligators that one can see from a distance.
