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.
362 South Salina Street, Syracuse, NY, United States
Boston, MA, United States
Once you hit Maine, you've reached the last stretch of I-95. However, with over 300 miles of road in this state alone, you've still got several hours to go before you reach the terminus. Stop to enjoy the scenery and an amusement park at the Old Orchard Beach and Palace Playland, which dates to 1902.
Head north to Portland to visit the Old Port district for a classic 19th-century New England vibe. Your journey will then continue along the Kennebec River after passing Augusta and Waterville.
The New Hampshire stretch of I-95 is relatively short but offers a couple of cool places to visit. First, check out the Memorial to a Witch in Hampton. It's a simple unmarked stone monument dedicated to Eunice "Goody" Cole, known as "the witch of Hampton," who was accused of witchcraft in 1656. That ruling was eventually overturned—in 1938.
Once you are back on I-95, you soon find The Big Blue Bug in Providence, another quirky roadside photo op.
Providence has some nice hotels as well. The Christopher Dodge House and the Hilton Providence are great places to stay for the night.
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.
