Overview

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.
