America's oldest city charms with its Spanish colonial architecture and rich history dating to 1565. St. Augustine is a perfect mix of historical immersion, coastal beauty, and culinary excellence in a more intimate setting than Florida's major tourist hubs. Must-see attractions include the imposing Castillo de San Marcos fortress, pedestrian-friendly St. George Street, Flagler College's Gilded Age grandeur, and pristine beaches at Anastasia State Park. The local dining scene artfully blends Spanish and Minorcan heritage with fresh Florida seafood.
