I-95 is the main highway that runs along the East Coast of the U.S. Since it is almost parallel to the Atlantic Ocean, you're never too far away from the beach on an I-95 road trip. Some of the major cities you'll pass through include Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington D.C., Richmond, Savannah, Jacksonville, and Miami. Here's some of the top attractions to see along I-95, from Florida to Maine.
You aren't in Delaware for very long while traveling I-95, but you should stop to see a serene bit of the state. Just three short miles north of Wilmington is Brandywine Creek State Park. The beautiful natural landscape includes 19th-century stone walls that add to the ambiance. Don't miss the tulip poplar forest and nature center when you visit.
Like Delaware, I-95 doesn't give you much time in New Jersey, but it's worth making a stop. The Bamboo Forest in New Brunswick is close to the highway and offers a uniquely beautiful backdrop for a short walk.
There are too many incredible sights to see in New York City, especially if you're just passing through. But, if you happen to have a day or two to spare on your I-95 road trip, here are a few of the essential sights: Central Park, the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Museum of Modern Art.
If you have time for a short detour, Gillette Castle State Park is just off I-95. It feels like you're walking around the ruins of a Medieval fortress. Built by a rich, eccentric actor, the castle has several unusual features that make it a unique stop.
I-95 officially ends at the Houlton–Woodstock Border Crossing. The route continues into Canada, where you can cross the border into New Brunswick. If you want to have an international journey after this epic tour of the East Coast, just keep driving.
