Situated on the east coast of Florida, about an hour south of Jacksonville, the oceanside community St. Augustine is known as the oldest city in the U.S. Not only is this ancient city filled with history, but it also boasts fantastic restaurants and plenty of things to see and do.
Attractions include the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument, St. George Street, the Fountain of Youth, and the Old Jail. This quaint but vibrant city also features art galleries, theaters, live music, and horse-drawn carriages. And then, of course, there are the wide stretches of white sand beaches.
Whether you’re looking for a beachfront condo on St. Augustine Beach, a beach house for a crowd on Anastasia Island, or a cozy bungalow in historic downtown St. Augustine, we’ve found the perfect place to stay on your next visit.
