If you want scenic, take A1A from St Augustine to Amelia Island. Catch the ferry across the St Johns River, drive by Little Talbot and Big Talbot Islands.
Nice scenic ride, that route would be 1.5 hours or so.
The scenic route used to be 1.5 hours; with the congestion on A1A through the Jax beaches area these days, figure on 2.5 hours.
