Welcome to St. Augustine, the nation’s oldest continuously occupied city, surrounded by beautiful beaches, waterways and historic sites. Even older than Jamestown or Plymouth Rock, this is a place where you can learn history by listening to storytellers dressed in armor, deerskin or homespun cloth. The Old City has the look of a European village but with 21st century shops, galleries and restaurants. Time travelers can visit museums in the oldest wooden and coquina block dwellings, and then step inside the grand public buildings of Flagler’s railroad era. Just a short drive away, outdoor adventure seekers can go hiking in a nature preserve bicycling on the beach or kayaking on placid waterways. Use this guide to find out what’s and what insiders are talking about this season. You may notice some friendly but boisterous pirates hanging around. They sometimes startle unsuspecting landlubbers and can raise the hairs on the back of your
neck. They’re usually found on the pirate ship, the Black Raven, docked downSt. Augustine Pirate town. At the and Treasure Museum, they are guarding authentic pirate booty. At the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park volunteers sifting through oyster dig discovered the wall shells at a of a building where Native Americans lived at least 300 years ago.

A wealth of
CTIVITIES for you to TRY
Built on the dreams of explorers, colonists and railroad men, St. Augustine has a lot of historic places to absorb. But beyond the city gates, there are many outdoor activities to keep you busy: hiking, fishing, surfing, and boating, plus legendary golf. Climb the lighthouse or take a helicopter ride to get an overview of the surrounding waterways and sparkling sand beaches. For a laid back way to explore the waters of nature preserves, rent a canoe or a kayak. And don’t forget your camera. Saltwater charter boat excursions are just minutes away. For freshwater action, friendly marinas on the Matanzas River will rent boats and tackle too. This is also an ideal time of year to play a round at one of the world-class golf courses in the area or tour the World Golf Hall of Fame’s collections of memorabilia. Curious travelers will be more than satisfied with the many museums and sites that reveal Spanish, British and American history. Expect to be awed by the 208-foot steel cross at the Mission of Nombre De Dios where Pedro Menendez established the first settlement and met Timucuan Indians in 1565. The thunder of exploding cannons at the old Spanish fort is a reminder of the many battles the city survived. Before you leave the city, visit the San Sebastian Winery for a free tour followed by tastings of their award winning wines. Tear out the valuable coupons in the back pages of this guide and keep them handy. Our business owners love to give you a discount.
At the end of the day, relax with a horsedrawn carriage ride, listen to the echo of hooves on European-style streets and return to that simpler time when the city’s pace was limited by the speed of a horse. If you dare, ghost tours are loaded with tales of pirates lurking in taverns and broken hearted lovers roaming upstairs bedrooms. Prepare to be enlightened or frightened—sweet dreams!

Fort Matansas National Monument Natures still rules in this remote section of Anastasia Island. Within minutes of arriving at the park’s welcome center, notice how the wind has shaped the trees that make a canopy of shade above your head. Yet it’s easy to explore the boardwalk trail through a maritime forest of oaks and red bays. Across the water stands the solitary figure of Fort Matansas, completed in 1742 to guard the southern approach to St. Augustine during the time Spain was struggling to keep its hold on its colonies.

When you see the logo SAiRA, you know they are committed to serving fresh, regional fare. Locals go out of their way to visit these friendly, affordable eateries. Seaside pubs mix tropical concoctions with tequila, fresh grapefruit juice and fruits to wash down fried shrimp in a basket. Seafood fresh from Florida waters is always an especially good choice. If you are looking for romantic places to dine, try a deck overlooking the water, a garden with a cascading fountain or a pub where candlelight throws shadows on aged brick walls.
Our restaurants have a strong sense of culinary diversity that comes from the cultures that thrived here for 400 years.

Spanish Cuisine Many diverse cultures have, at one time or another, called St. Augustine home. Each has left its own unique imprint on St. Augustine cuisine. The Spanish culture in particular has truly influenced the way locals eat. Traditional Spanish ingredients and spices like chorizo, tomatoes, rice, eggs, saffron and garlic are evident in a variety of popular foods that St. Augustine has come to embrace as its own. Tapas, paella, arroz con pollo, gazpacho and ropa vieja served in
the city’s restaurants haven’t changed much over the years. In st. Augustine, these are favorites with a long history. So raise a glass of sangria or rioja and raise a toast, “Salud!” to Spain’s most delectable legacy. As an added bonus to your dining experience, some area restaurants even offer live Latin music, the perfect accompaniment to a traditional Spanish-style meal.

S HOPPING? Come for the
You’ve come to the
Right Place.
An afternoon stroll in St. Augustine makes you feel like a time traveler with total access to the latest clothing, jewelry and accessories. Think of the historic district as a giant department store, only there are streets with shops instead of aisles. And wherever you ramble you are never far from a café where you can take a break and stop for lunch. The Old City is a remarkable place to shop for old maps, French and English antiques, nautical artifacts, books, collectibles and vintage linens. Specialty shops also carry an excellent assortment of precious gem jewelry and home furnishings. Beyond the city is a full spectrum of beach emporiums stocked with sportswear. And if you love designer labels at bargain prices, an upscale outlet mall is just a short drive away. On St. George Street some old houses have quaint second stories that extend out over the street. Now they are shops and restaurants, and it’s a pleasure to explore them because there’s no auto traffic on this pedestrian friendly street. The oldest byway in the city, Aviles Street, is a treasure, a special corner of the city where the sidewalks have room for café tables and benches. When the bricked street was restored recently, the old bricks were carefully removed, cleaned and then re-laid. Along the street you’ll find art galleries, a wine bar and boutiques. For historic
gifts drop by the St. Augustine Historical Society Research Library shop at the corner of Artillery Lane. Within comfortable walking distance you can explore many galleries displaying sculpture, photography, and paintings of sublime Florida landscapes by emerging artists. And if you find a special treasure to remember your trip by, many places will ship it home for you.

Aviles Street–
ET TO KNOW
the oldest STREET
Aviles Street is the pride of the Old City community, a special corner of town where streets are narrow and the people coming and going through the doors of shops, sidewalk cafés and a wine-bar are not in a hurry. Benches provide a comfortable place to meet any time of day. It is the oldest byway in the city, which several years ago inspired a sister city agreement to promote cultural ties with Aviles, Spain. Over the years there have been many exchanges that have enriched the people of both cities.
When you stroll down the street you’ll notice graceful streetlights and a recently renovated bricked roadway. Each ageworn brick was carefully removed during construction and cleaned so that it could be re-used and placed back on the street. Come down at night when the shops, pubs and galleries glow with lights from within. Relax over a light supper and take time to browse through bins for an art print to remind you of your visit back in time.
