No Driving Route: Jacksonville, FL to Belize City — Ocean Separates Them

You Cannot Drive from Florida to Belize

No roads connect Jacksonville, FL (USA) to Belize City (Belize).

Why

Geography: The Gulf of Mexico / Caribbean Sea separates the Yucatán Peninsula (Belize) from the U.S. Gulf Coast.
Missing links: No bridge/tunnel Cuba–Florida, Cuba–Yucatán, or Mexico–Belize land crossing continuous to US.
Darien Gap: Even if you drove through Mexico/Central America, the Panama–Colombia border has no road (100 km jungle).
