Things To Do
Ponce de Leon's Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park
The park is located near where the conquistador first landed after spotting “La Florida”-the Place of Flowers on March 27, 1513. Fifteen waterfront acres overlooking the Matanzas River and St Augustine Inlet provide a lush backdrop for an impromptu picnic lunch of brisket and burgers from Smoked Southern BBQ, a deceptively casual on-premises food shack run by a James Beard–nominated chef.
Castillo de San Marcos National Monument
The oldest masonry fort built in the US and was originally used to defend Spain’s claims in Florida after a series of pirate raids in the late 1500s. Rangers offer tours daily. It also has great views of the city and would make for great pictures.
Saint Augustine Distillery
Join one of the free tours offered seven days a week between 10:30am and 5:30pm to learn about the distillation process, take a selfie in front of the copper stills and sample four signature cocktails. Before your tour, ask about the “Fill Your Own Bottle” experience for a chance to personalize your own bottle of bourbon.
St George Street
Located in the heart of the city, the area offers cafes, restaurants, art galleries and cute shoppes. Definitely worth a stroll.
Beach
Weather could possibly be beach weather. Bring your bathing suit just in case.
