St. Augustine, Florida
Enjoy the old world charm of America's oldest city!
Founded in 1565, St. Augustine, Florida is the oldest city
in North America complete with narrow cobblestone streets
and a charming town that looks more like Europe than Florida.
Filled with historic museums (spotlighting the Spanish, English
and American battles for the town), restored Spanish mansions
and forts, the mythical Fountain of Youth, scores of cafes,
restaurants and boutiques around its town square, and beautiful
bays and beaches, St. Augustine is one of the most alluring
cities in all of Florida.
Featuring a historic square with a European flavor, a 17th
century fort, and plenty of historic houses and buildings,
St. Augustine is one of the most enchanting cities in all
of Florida.
Highlights of St. Augustine Florida include the Castillo
de San Marco National Monument (featuring America’s
oldest and best preserved 17th century fort), the Colonial
Spanish Quarter Museum (a 2 block area that recreates the
Spanish settlement), the Oldest House in America and the Oldest
Store Museum. Other interesting attractions include the Lightner
Museum (an opulent hotel museum) and the Old St. Augustine
Village Museum (featuring the colorful and bloody history
of the city).
Beyond the great historic buildings and museums, St. Augustine
is a joy to walk through. The town also features fantastic
restaurants, art galleries and lively taverns.
In addition, St. Augustine offers close access to miles of
beaches the two best of which are Vilano Beach and Anastasia
State Park. Located just a few miles from the center of St.
Augustine, Anastasia Sate Park features a protected wide sandy
beach free of development, rentals for windsurfing and kayaking
and hiking trails. |
