From the President/CEO Welcome to Florida’s Historic Coast, also known as St. Augustine and Ponte Vedra Beach, the oldest continuously occupied European settlement in the United States. Our destination was settled by Spanish explorers in 1565, but it has also been home to many cultures—Native American, Greek, Minorcan, French and British. You’ll find this diversity influences everything from food to architecture, shopping to entertainment and, of course, the many festivals and special events enjoyed year-round by visitors and locals alike. As a vacation destination, Florida’s Historic Coast is capturing attention world-wide with recognition by Conde Nast Traveler, Travel Channel, Travel + Leisure, TripAdvisor, USA Today, Time, and Parent magazine just to name a few. While you’re here you’ll find plenty of Old World charm along brick-lined streets and Spanish Colonial architecture. But we’re more than our unique history. We’re a foodie paradise with a burgeoning dining scene, which certainly adds to the romance of this magical place. There’s plenty to explore—arts, culture and nature. Music and entertainment, there’s something for every interest and age. As the home of the PGA Tour and the location of THE PLAYERS Championship, we’re a top destination for golf. You’ll find more than a dozen championship golf courses to choose from and have the opportunity to explore the World Golf Hall of Fame. Our beautiful beaches of white quartz sand provide fun for the entire family. Shelling, surfing, paddle boarding and sandcastle building, our 42 miles of Atlantic shore are a seaside playground. A visit to Florida’s Historic Coast will help you re-connect with family, friends and loved ones.

Salty Dogs
Chow Time

Where Do I Park? With streets and traffic patterns established in the 1600s, St. Augustine is fascinating for pedestrians, but often frustrating for drivers—especially when looking for a parking space. Much of that frustration can be relieved by heading over to the Historic Downtown Parking Facility at 10 S. Castillo Drive. A beautifully designed facility featuring 1,200 parking spaces is open 24 hours per day. Located adjacent to the main Visitor Information Center (VIC) and within easy walking distance of most historic sites, horse-drawn carriages, sightseeing trains and trolleys are readily available here. Self-service, automated parking kiosks provide convenient payment for on-street metered parking and in city parking lots. Metered parking is also available at the Castillo de San Marcos. The good news is that metered parking is free after 5 p.m. and all day on Sunday. Overnight parking for RVs, tour buses and trailers is available on Riberia Street behind the Parking Facility. Parking information for St. Augustine is available by calling 904.825.1000.
