Saint Augustine Travel Guide

Florida's oldest colonial city on the northeast coast, famed for its Spanish stone fort, old town and beaches.

📍 Destination Overview

St. Augustine, Florida's oldest European-founded city, was established by the Spanish in 1565, 42 years before Jamestown. Its centerpiece, Castillo de San Marcos, is a coquina-star fort never captured in over two centuries, and the Gilded Age Ponce de León Hotel shows old-world splendor. Cobblestone streets and nearby beaches spread a long, charming history.
