WHAT TO SEE & DO | Locals Guide St Augustine

“I love St. Augustine”… that’s what you’ll hear from locals and tourists alike. Saint Augustine is all things to all people, there is something for everyone. The oldest city in the nation, brings you rich history and world renowned attractions.

My Nephew Brad at Fort Matanzas

Our historic downtown area, is an attraction all its own. We suggest you take a walking tour, trolley tour or scenic cruise when you arrive to learn about the oldest city’s extensive history. A walk on historic St. George Street is a must. Among the many shops and eateries you will get to experience the beautiful architecture and Coquina courtyards of the past. Be sure to look on our side streets for some of the oldest and most beautiful Coquina walls and iron gates.

St. Augustine has two forts that you should put on your list of things to do. The world famous Castillo de San Marcos in historic downtown and Fort Matanzas out on the island. Fort Matanzas is free to tour and includes a ferry across the water to the fort. Check out this great fly over video of the Castillo de San Marcos.
