St. Augustine

St. Augustine is the oldest city in the United States and is located on Florida's northeast coast. Its lovely downtown area is filled with well-preserved Spanish colonial buildings.

The Castillo de San Marcos, a 17th-century Spanish stronghold constructed of stone that gives stunning views of the ocean and the St. Augustine Inlet, is another reminder of the city's Spanish heritage.

The beaches of St. Augustine are spectacular, with fine white sand, and the most popular are St. Augustine Beach and Crescent Beach.

Hike through beautiful Anastasia State Park, a protected wildlife refuge with 4 miles of pristine coastline and a nature walk that winds through ancient dunes, estuary tidal marsh, and maritime hammocks.
