City of St. Augustine

Founded in September 1565 by Don Pedro Menendez de Aviles of Spain, St. Augustine is the longest continually inhabited European-founded city in the United States – more commonly called the "Nation’s Oldest City." Stroll the narrow lanes, enter the many museums, and visit historic landmarks such as Castillo de San Marcos, Ponce de Leon's "Fountain of Youth," and the Oldest Wooden Schoolhouse. For 21st-century activities, consider family fun (a beach on the Atlantic), outdoor adventures (kayaking an inland waterway), golf (play where the pros play), fine dining (the fresh catch of the day), and shopping from colonial to chic. Plan your trip to St. Augustine:

THE HISTORY

More than four centuries of history here owe much to the Spanish and English, to Greeks and Native Americans and African Americans.

FAMILY FUN

The activities are educational (St. Augustine Lighthouse), the wild (Alligator Farm), the natural (Anastasia Island State Park), and the paranormal (ghost tours).

OUTDOOR ADVENTURES

This coastal community is rich in flora and fauna that can be experienced from the seat of a bicycle, atop a paddleboard, and at the helm of a sailboat.
