Such a beautiful blend of history and coastal charm. The cobblestone streets, historic landmarks and relaxing beach atmosphere make it a perfect getaway. Great food, friendly people, and plenty to explore. If you are a history nerd this is a place to be as this is the oldest city in USA from French , Hispanic era.

Weve been told that we have to go see St.augustine, its so beautiful. Weve lived in Fla now for 25yrs and have never made it over here so during this xmas break we decided to give it a try 3.5hrs away from Tarpon Springs. First off depending on your budget it can be pretty expensive staying in or around the historical downtown. We stayed 6 miles away and it was perfect. All I can say about this place was. It was nice. It was crowded and we honestly didnt feel the same way about this place as alot of people. Nothing for kids to do if you bring them.(we dont have young kids) we can now say been there done that. But honestly we wont drive 3.5 hrs again to visit. Night time with the lights was definitely pretty. But everything closes early and no open drinks to walk around with. Flagler college was absolutely beautiful.
