The Martin Grade Scenic Highway, also known as County Road 714, is located between Lake Okeechobee on the left and the Atlantic Ocean on the right, and begins just ten miles west of Palm City, Florida.
This beautiful 12-mile byway shaded by a canopy of 100-year old oaks has been around for many years, but
it only just recently became an official Florida Scenic Highway in 2015.
Take a drive through the enchanting tunnel of trees to feel the charming beauty of Old Florida. This rural area, just a half hour’s drive west of beachy Stuart, has a unique character all its own, representing what Florida was like 100 years ago.
