A delightful historic district, with its cobblestone streets, quaint cafes, bars, unique shops, abundant antique shops, book stores, and a wide selection of bed-and-breakfast inns.
St. Augustine is one of the most historically significant locations in the whole of Florida. It is the oldest continuously occupied European-established city, and the oldest port, in the continental United States. St. Augustine is part of a region of Florida known as The First Coast, which extends from Amelia Island in the north, south to Jacksonville, St. Augustine and Palm Coast.
St. Augustine was founded forty-two years before the English colony at Jamestown, Virginia, and fifty-five years before the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock in Massachusetts - making it the oldest permanent European settlement on the North American continent.
St. Augustine is a true treasure for anyone traveling the Intracoastal Waterway. The St. Augustine Municipal Marina provides a picturesque and convenient harborage for both sail and power boats with a friendly and helpful staff that is on duty 24/7 year round.
If you love to golf or play tennis, then this is the place for you! There are many golf courses and tennis resorts located in the area. Ponte Vedra, home of The Players Association (PGA) and Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), is a 20 minute drive from the Down Town St. Augustine. |
The town also has 43 pristine miles of beaches of luxurious sand. Some permit vehicles and dogs while others allow only pedestrians. Some of the area beaches produce abundant shelling opportunities, while others are covered only in luxurious fine, golden sand. Best of all you can experience both the joy of the sun rising over the Atlantic Ocean horizon and the peacefulness of the sun setting beyond the salt marsh along the intracoastal waterway. |
