Home Page
Visitors to this
historic American city feel like they have stepped back in time as they
stroll down St. George Street in St. Augustine's historical district.
Hundreds of shops, landmarks and specialty gifts such as handmade
candles, woven goods and wooden crafts, or resort and beach wear, and
await the vacationer. With more than 35 antique shops and 20 art
galleries, a bounty of treasures - from original creations by local
artisans to valuable heirlooms - await discovery throughout 144 blocks
of historic homes and sites.
Popular golf and
tennis facilities are nearby, as well as boating and fishing. World
Golf Village features two world-class resorts, two championship golf
courses, unique shopping and dining and is the home of the World Golf
Hall of Fame. A few minutes away
across the Bridge of Lions, St. Augustine Beach, with its smooth, sandy
shores, is a popular seaside destination. Nearby Ponte Vedra Beach is
home to some of the most outstanding resorts in the country, with
first-class golf and tennis facilities.
Families will
find much to see and do in the nation's oldest city. From popular
attractions, such as 3D World and Ripley's Believe It or Not! Museum,
to water-based activities, including jet skiing, sailing and fishing,
kids of all ages will delight in St. Augustine.
This coastal city also
affords its visitors virtually perfect weather, year round.
Winter tends to be the busiest time of year; however, due to it's
proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and historic significance, virtually
anytime of year can be wonderful for visitors. In the winter,
with the daytime temperatures reaching the high 60's F to the low
70's F, it's a perfect time to explore the many historic sites
throughout the city. Spring brings warmer temperatures and
additional sunshine making it a good time for a nice meal followed by a
walk through any of the areas dotted with historical buildings.
Summer can be warm with the temperature often exceeding 90 F, but with
a warm breeze coming off the Atlantic, it is quite comfortable.
Fall is ideal for taking advantage of the numerous events taking place,
or just relaxing with a good book. Whatever the season and
whatever the reason for a visit, historic St. Augustine is waiting with
a warm breeze.
