How Far From Beverly Beach to ...

We spend a lot of time looking through Gazetteers, Almanacs & Directories that were published in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Many of the Gazetteers include the distance from a town such as Beverly Beach to various places of note, such as the White House.

With a nod to our favorite Gazetteers, the straight-line distance beginning in Beverly Beach and extending to:

  • Tallahassee, which is the State Capital of Florida, lies 197 miles [317 km]<1> to the west northwest (WNW). If you could drive a straight line from Beverly Beach to Tallahassee, with an average speed<4>of 63 miles [101.4 km] per hour, it would take a little over three hours to make the trip. A comfortable walk of 2.2 miles [3.5 km] per hour would take 12 days. A horse and buggy averaging 3.2 miles [5.1 km] per hour would take 8 days.
  • The White House (Washington, DC) is 688 miles [1,107.2 km] to the north northeast (NNE). Driving would take just about two full days, a buggy would take 27 days and walking would take 39 days.
