Intro

St. Augustine. The oldest inhabited city in the United States. And boy does it show you its history and culture when you visit. From the Fountain of Youth to the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument. Even just a few days you will learn about the city’s foundation in 1565 after Ponce de Leon discovered Florida in 1513.

Come for the history. Stay for the white sand beaches, restaurants and people. Below I outline the highlights of what the city has to offer. Landmarks, beaches, and nightlife. No rock is left unturned in this St. Augustine post.

Conclusion

A long weekend felt like just enough time to spend in Saint Augustine to scrape away at the Ancient City as it was definitely a family fun filled weekend. There are plenty of ways to spend your time in this little city, so below I will provide a quick list of activities in the city, some we hit and some we missed as well as a list of restaurants we enjoyed, as well as cool nearby cities.
