OP, it's two hours or less to either coast depending where on the coast you plan to go. We go to Cocoa Beach because we have relatives there and it's about two hours or less via turnpike and 528 Beachline. It's about hour and half direct to Tampa Bay area its another half hour to get to the nice beaches on the west coast. Two hours to New Smyrna Beach on the east coast where you can drive on the beach and tailgate and return to TV the same day----one of our favorite day trips with our friends or by ourselves.
