A wealth of
CTIVITIES
for you to TRY
It may seem like St. Augustine is all about history, but just below the surface is a playful side. Look no further for worldclass golf, surfing, kayaking—not to mention fishing and boating. Founded in 1565, we proudly brag about the oldest house, the first schoolhouse and Flagler’s 20th century railroad era buildings. For an overview of the city, hop on the trolley for a narrated tour. Later you can duck into shops and restored buildings housing interesting attractions. 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! And check out these exciting new additions since you last visited. Your school days were never like this. The exhibits at the Oldest Wooden Schoolhouse display artifacts of Spanish, British, American and Native American origin retrieved from archeological digs at the property. Fiesta Falls Miniature Golf, that playground of fun has added cool treats to their menu—chocolate dipped cones and three flavors of velvety smooth milk shakes. The Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park is the birthplace of the town, the place where Pedro Menendez first encountered Timucuan Indians. Taste the legendary water at the renovated Springhouse and Stellarium Star machine see the at the Planetarium.
History is part of the fabric of life here. Take a carriage ride past the 17th century fort built of native coquina shells and listen to the genteel clip-clop of the horse’s hooves. To investigate our city’s eerie legends explore our narrow streets and byways after dark with a knowledgeable ghost tour guide. Prepare to be enlightened or frightened….sweet dreams!

One of the most loved symbols of St. Augustine, it was overdue for a complete rebuilding. But it took years of discussion and research to return it to its original state.
St. Valentine’s Day 2005. It appears that saints inadvertently continue to play a part in the life of the city. Now that the bridge is open again, there’s just one more missing piece in the plan. Once the landscaping is finished in the Fall, the Italian carrara marble lions will be returned to their place of honor overlooking the downtown square.
Replicating the color took researchers back Be sure to come back in 2011 to see them. to the day it opened on March 17 in 1927, The lions are the city’s most popular site for St. Patrick’s Day. Coincidentally, it was painted green, and so it is again.

5 Servings of Florida’s Fabulous Seafood Blessed by a coastline extending more than 1,300 miles, Florida’s chefs have taken full advantage of the bounty of the waters. No visit to the Sunshine State would be complete without sampling some of the seafood dishes found on most menus. Here are a few to tempt you.
1 Conch: pronounced “konk.” These chewy clams are served tenderized with lime juice, raw and chopped in salad. Also chopped, breaded and fried as conch fritters and in conch chowder (usually red, spicy).
2
Mahi (or Mahi Mahi): the correct name is dolphin (not the mammal). Firm, white-fleshed and delicious grilled, blackened or Cajun-style.
3 Grouper: one of the mildest fishes available, served fried, blackened, broiled or grilled as an entrée, but a fried grouper sandwich is hard to beat. 4
Yellowfin tuna: a firm, flavorful semi-dark meat fish most often grilled, broiled or blackened.
5 Florida lobster: known as spiny lobster, has no claws like Maine lobster. Florida lobster tails are broiled and served with melted butter. Absolutely delicious!
