Things To Do

St. Augustine is a spectacular seaside city. Its historic downtown is made up of brick-lined streets, picturesque architecture, and an abundance of local galleries and restaurants. It’s a great place to enjoy art, history, and of course, food! In our experience, it’s also a beautiful place to fall in love. ;) Cradled by the ocean, salt marshes, and the Matanzas River, St. Augustine is home to a wealth of natural ecosystems and opportunities for sustainable outdoor recreation. We highly recommend the area’s paddle board, kayak or sailing eco-tours. You can see wildlife like dolphins, sea turtles, pelicans, and (Tina and Jake’s favorite birds on the planet) Roseate Spoonbills. Here are a few of our favorite spots in town to check out.

St. Augustine Lighthouse & Maritime Museum

100 Red Cox Drive, St. Augustine, FL 32080
, (904) 829-0745

All guests will receive admission to climb the lighthouse and explore the maritime museum on the day of our ceremony. Guests will have access to the grounds beginning at 2:30 p.m.

Castillo de San Marcos National Monument

1 S. Castillo Drive, St. Augustine, FL 32084
, (904) 829-6506

That intermittent cannon fire you might hear during your stay? That's coming from re-enactors here. Built in the late 17th century, the Castillo originally served as an outpost of the Spanish Empire guarding St. Augustine. Learn more about the fort's (and the city's) history by touring its grounds.

St. Augustine ECO Tours

111 Avenida Menendez, St. Augustine, FL 32084
, (904) 377-7245

Try a kayak tour along St. Augustine's Bayfront, under the Bridge of Lions, past the Castillo and into the nearby marshes. You might find dolphins, flying fish, egrets, spoonbills, or all of the above! At the very least you'll get a decent workout and great downtown views. Fun for beginners and more experienced paddlers.

Kayak & Paddle Board St. Augustine

441 Ocean Vista Avenue, St. Augustine, FL 32080
, (904) 315-8442

These kayak and stand-up paddle boarding tours head out on Salt Run across from the St. Augustine Lighthouse. They offer great views of Anastasia State Park and chances to spot birds and marine life.

St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park

If you want to get close, but not too close, to some gators and various other reptiles, mammals and birds.

St. Augustine Beach & Pier

350 A1A Beach Blvd, St. Augustine Beach, FL 32080

Stating the obvious here, so you don't miss it. The beach is beautiful! There's a parking lot in front of the pier. If you're game to drive a little farther south on A1A, Crescent Beach and Matanzas Inlet are great spots too.

The Kookaburra

Peruvian food; formal, intimate place on the island with many wonderful dishes, lots of fish/ceviche options. This one is a splurge, but worth it!
