Question
Where are the cool parts of St. Augustine?
Answer
Obviously, everywhere! Downtown: The wedding and all wedding events will be downtown. Most areas downtown are pretty much walkable, but there are cobblestones streets so flats or wedges are highly recommended! Downtown fun fact: The trolly can feel silly, but is surprisingly fun and doubles as a free cab around downtown for anyone with a ticket. The Beach: You can get downtown from St. Augustine Beach in about 10-15 minutes (add ~10 minutes if you get snagged by the draw bridge). Beach fun fact: you can drive on the beach and park on the beach in St.Augustine! The first ramp to drive onto the beach is located at A Street & A1A Beach, then the ramps just pop up every once in a while after that - you can only drive South on the beach. Davis Shores: Davis Shores is an area between Downtown and St. Augustine Beach. Cute houses available to rent, renovated hotels/motels, fun restaurants, you'll find it all. It's pretty walkable depending on where you stay, and is prob a 5 minute drive to downtown (again, pending the draw bridge). Vilano Beach: Just North of downtown is a bridge that takes you to STA's ever so quieter sister: Vilano Beach. Vilano is only about a 15-20 min jaunt from downtown. Vilano offers laid back vibes, it's own beach, nice houses to rent, a couple restaurants, a beach bar/restaurant, and even a couple hotels that popped up recently!
