Miami to Naples

[Red-Snapper]

Anyone driven this ?

Best route, time etc

looks to be around 1hr 30mins so presumably do able straight of the plane ?

Yes it's really easy - as you're heading west you avoid most of the Miami traffic. The best way is the US 41 Tamiami Trail, and it's a nice scenic drive across the Everglades. We often go to Sanibel Island, and it's the way we go.
I'd say it would take closer to 2 hours though - it's 100ish miles...

Thanks !!

We've been on Tamiami previously, but were thinking of taking Alligator Alley this time to Fort Myers - does anyone have any feedback on this route?

Alligator Alley is quicker than the Tamiami however....watch out for traffic cops (State Troopers?) as I have seen loads of cars getting pulled for speeding.

It is also less scenic

We drove Alligator Alley last year - it's a very boring road as it's very long and straight! But an easy drive Keep your eyes peeled for alligators in the water at the side of the road!

For speed and safety, Alligator Alley (I-75) is the way to go. The toll is $2.50 each way, $2.00 if you have a SunPass transponder. The road is boring but it's the fastest way across.
