About the Broward County A1A Scenic Highway
The Broward County A1A Scenic Highway is located alongside the Intracoastal Waterway, which is rich with history. It is home to rare, threatened, and endangered species, including the West Indian manatee, and migratory birds.
Broward County has a vibrant story which is represented along the State Road A1A corridor. The Barefoot Mailman Statue and Hillsboro Lighthouse in Hillsboro Beach, Indian Mound Park in Pompano Beach, the State Underwater Archaeological Preserve in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, and the Bonnet House in Fort Lauderdale are just a few of the historic sites depicting what life was like long ago in Broward County.
As SR A1A traverses through its nine distinct beach communities, travelers can take in sights of sea turtle nests, indigenous dune plants, and waves crashing along the beaches. SR A1A is also filled with cultural and recreational activities to delight the traveler. Swimming, snorkeling, fishing, and hiking at recreational parks and piers is available year-round. Visitors can enjoy numerous festivals annually, including the Pompano Beach Seafood Festival and Dania Beach Arts & Seafood Celebration.

About this page's facts
The line is the Federal Highway Administration's scenic byways layer (HEPGIS, a snapshot of 2022-06-24, a US government work), cut at the state line and simplified for the map; the length is the line's. The designation is the program's own: the national tiers from FHWA's America's Byways roster, the rest from the layer's designation field. Road conditions, closures and seasonal gates change: check the agency's own page and the state's road conditions before you go.
