St. Augustine, Florida . . .

A Must See


Whether you're planning a simple day trip, a weekend getaway. or a long adventure, St Augustine has it all - historic sites, fine restaurants, nightlife, hotels, motels, bed & breakfasts, condos and more.



Founded in 1565, St. Augustine is the oldest continuously occupied settlement of European and African-American origin in the United States. Forty-two years before the English colonized Jamestown and fifty-five years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, the Spanish established at St. Augustine this nation's first enduring settlement.


 
The architectural legacy of the city's past is much younger, testimony to the impermanent quality of the earliest structures and to St. Augustine's troubled history. Only the venerable Castillo de San Marcos, completed in the late seventeenth century, survived destruction of the city by invading British forces in 1702.
