Things To Do
San Sebastian Winery
This is a favorite of ours! They offer complementary wine tastings and our favorite wine is the Vintners Red - you’ll have to give it a try! A little history: San Sebastian Winery, founded in 1996 is located at 157 King Street, St. Augustine, Florida in one of Henry Flagler’s old East Coast Railway buildings located just a few blocks from historic downtown.
Saint Augustine Distillery
This distillery is a beautiful and unique place that we enjoyed visiting! Distillery tours are free, include a free tasting and begin every half-hour. It is located in the Historic FP&L Ice Plant. Built as part of St. Augustine’s first power and ice complex in 1907, the distillery owners restored it and converted it into a great place to visit.
World Golf Hall of Fame
If you’re a golf fan, the world golf hall of fame is right around the corner! Admission to the Hall of Fame includes entrance to the Museum (valid for the day of purchase AND the subsequent day) and one shot on the Hall of Fame Challenge Hole.
Castillo de San Marcos
If you’re into history, this is a must see! The oldest masonry structure of its kind in the continental United States, Castillo de San Marcos was built and constructed to guard the coastline against invasion. Take some time to wander around this massive fort that overlooks the sea on the St. Augustine coast. Walk through the numerous rooms that were once home to war soldiers and prisoners. Out on the large interior courtyard, you’ll see the gun deck and enjoy magnificent views of the city.
Saint George Street
A pedestrian-only thoroughfare, bustling St. George Street is the epicenter of downtown St. Augustine. Chock full of shops, restaurants, art galleries and attractions, this historic street is a must for any visitor to the Nation’s Oldest City.
Lighthouse Avenue
We enjoyed the scenic views from the top. If you’re scared of heights, there’s plenty to explore on the ground, too ;) Like so many other sites in St. Augustine, the Lighthouse is a cherished landmark from another era. It’s significant for two main reasons—first because of its role as a vital watchtower that led ships safely into the St. Augustine port for more than a hundred years and second because of its longstanding survival as an architectural icon to the city. The original lighthouse was closed in 1874 on the same day that the new one was completed.
St. Augustine Beach
If you’re needing a little sun and sand, these beaches are beautiful!
