The city has more than 50 attractions including historical sites and points of interest, living history museums, animal parks and ghost tours. Many are located within walking distance of one another in downtown historic St. Augustine, while others in the uptown antiques area or across the Bridge of Lions on Anastasia Island are accessible via tourist transportation, making it possible to see it all without having to move your car! Guided walking tours as well as those conducted via tram, trolley, horse-drawn carriage or cruise boat all offer unique narratives of the story of historic St. Augustine, covering some of St. Augustine’s most popular landmarks.

ST. AUGUSTINE The oldest continuously occupied European settlement in the continental United States , St. Augustine was founded by the Spanish in 1565 (42 years before the English colonized Jamestown and 55 years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock). Although it is situated a mere 40 miles from the glassy skyscrapers of downtown Jacksonville, 100 miles from the rocket ships of Kennedy Space Center and 100 miles from the fantasy theme parks of Orlando, the city’s rich history and cultural diversity make it seem worlds away.

Highlights include: • The Castillo de San Marcos National Monument, a living history museum which interprets life in colonial St. Augustine circa 1740. • The Fountain of Youth Discovery Park, where it is said that Ponce de Leon went in search of everlasting youth. • The Ponce de Leon and Alcazar Hotels, built by Standard Oil magnate Henry Flagler in the late 19th century. Today those grand Victorian structures house Flagler College, and St. Augustine City Hall and Lightner Museum, respectively. • The original 1888 Casa Monica Hotel, restored into a luxury hotel providing world-class accommodations. • Shopping in St. Augustine is a buyer’s delight with boutiques, gift shops and antique stores waiting to be discovered on nearly every downtown street.

• Accommodations are plentiful and range from splendid resorts to charming bed and breakfast inns. • Dozens of unique restaurants dotted throughout St. Augustine, compose a varied collection of quaint cafés together with four-star rated dining establishments. Founding of St. Augustine St. Augustine played an integral role in the early colonization of North America. Juan Ponce de Leon, the first governor of Puerto Rico, landed near present-day St. Augustine on Easter, March 27, 1513 in search of the legendary Fountain of Youth. Claiming it for Spain, he named the beautiful land “La Florida” for the many flowers in bloom. Over the following half century, Spain launched at least six unsuccessful attempts to establish an actual settlement in Florida. Finally, in 1564, the French beat them to it with the establishment of Fort Caroline along an area of high sand dune bluffs that overlook the St. Johns River in present-day Jacksonville. The new French colony posed a threat to the Spanish treasure fleets that sailed along the Florida coast. As a result, King Philip II of Spain named his country’s most experienced admiral, Pedro Menendez de Aviles, as the new governor of Florida and instructed him to not only colonize the area, but also drive out any settlers from foreign lands that he may encounter. In 1565, Menendez drove the French out of Florida and founded St. Augustine as a permanent colony and military installation for Spain. Today, St. Augustine remains a popular international tourist destination, retaining a unique mix of small town charm, Southern hospitality, historical integrity and seaside appeal.

ST. AUGUSTINE HISTORY 1513 Ponce de Leon lands near the site of St. Augustine and declares La Florida for Spain. 1565 Menendez establishes St. Augustine and drives the French out of nearby Ft. Caroline. 1586 English pirate Sir Francis Drake burns and pillages St. Augustine. 1668 Captain John Davis and his band of English buccaneers slaughter 60 townspeople in the streets and plunder their homes. Such clashes become increasingly common with the establishment of English colonies in Georgia and the Carolinas.

1837 Osceola, famous leader of the Seminole Indians, is captured near St. Augustine and held prisoner for two months in the Castillo de San Marcos before being transferred to South Carolina. This occurs during the Seminole War, which carries on for much of Florida’s 24-year territorial period. 1842 The Seminole War ends in Florida with the surrender of much of the Seminole nation. 1845 Florida becomes the twenty-seventh state of the Union. Tallahassee is selected as the capital due to a geographical compromise between St. Augustine and Pensacola. Tourism also begins to take hold about this time.

1672 Construction begins on St. Augustine’s famous coquina fort, the Castillo de San Marcos. 1696 The Castillo de San Marcos is completed. In its history it never falls to any outside attacks. 1702 Governor James Moore of Carolina leads a twomonth siege on the Castillo without success. 1740 British General James Oglethorpe of Georgia launches another unsuccessful attack on St. Augustine. 1763 After the French and Indian War, Spain trades Florida to Great Britain in exchange for Havana. St. Augustine comes under British rule for the first time. 1783 After maintaining its allegiance to Britain during the American Revolution, St. Augustine and Florida are returned to Spanish rule under the terms of the Treaty of Paris, signed between England, France and Spain. 1821 A colorful ceremony in St. Augustine marks the peaceful transfer of power as Spain sells Florida to the United States. Spanish soldiers leave St. Augustine, never to return again.

1862 During the Civil War, a Union blockade appears off the city’s inlet and demands the surrender of St. Augustine. That night, Confederate troops retreat and the Union occupies the city through the end of the Civil War in 1865. 1883 The Jacksonville, St. Augustine & Halifax River railway is completed, linking St. Augustine with its booming neighbor to the north, Jacksonville. During the winter of 1883-1884, Henry M. Flagler, co-founder of the Standard Oil Company, visits St. Augustine and is amazed by its charm and tourism potential. 1883 Henry Flagler’s two magnificent hotels, the Hotel Ponce de Leon (now Flagler College) and the Alcazar Hotel (now houses the Lightner Museum) open for an elite tourist clientele. He also purchases the Cordova Hotel (now the Casa Monica). The three hotels make St. Augustine a magnet for high society travelers, earning the city the nickname “Newport of the South.” 1896 Flagler’s East Coast Railway reaches Miami, opening the door to developing South Florida.

Ponte Vedra Beach is just 20 minutes north of St. Augustine and features top-rated golf and tennis resorts, is home to the PGA and ATP tours and exclusive residential neighborhoods where one of the most prestigious golf tournaments in the world, THE PLAYERS Championship, is held. If golf and tennis don’t pique your interests, you’re sure to find something that does at Ponte Vedra’s 138-acre Davis Park, complete with fishing ponds stocked for children’s catch and release, dog parks, a playground, and playing fields for soccer, football, softball and baseball. In Ponte Vedra, the community of Nocatee is one of the fastest growing master-planned, unincorporated towns in the Nation offering its residents a unique balance of work and play in a walkable, livable community for all ages. Located 3 miles from Ponte Vedra Beach and the Atlantic Ocean, approximately 85% of the community is in St. Johns County, and the remaining 15% is in Duval County.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH HISTORY Ponte Vedra Beach has a rich and unique history. Ponce de Leon, a Spanish explorer best known for his pursuit of the legendary “fountain of youth,” is believed to have landed on what would later become Ponte Vedra Beach on April 2, 1513. A small settlement begins to take shape in the Ponte Vedra Beach area. Haciendas were built and the roots for gracious living were planted. The area remained sparsely populated through the late 19th century. In 1914, minerals were discovered, and a community known as Mineral City grew up around the mining operations there. Titanium extraction was significant, as well as that of zircon and rutile. These minerals were recovered from beach sands by a private commercial firm called

National Lead Company, directed by Henry Holland Buckman and George A. Pritchard. During World War I titanium was a component of poison gas, and therefore a strategic mineral. After the war, mineral demand dropped, so the National Lead Company changed its focus to building a resort community. The name of the community was changed to Ponte Vedra, apparently after the city of Pontevedra, Galicia, (Spain). The actual reason is unknown, but there was a rumor that one of the developers read a newspaper article that erroneously claimed Christopher Columbus was born there. In the early 1920s, the National Lead Company built a 9-hole golf course and 12-room clubhouse constructed of logs for the use of their employees. After the company left Ponte Vedra, that real estate became the foundation of the Ponte Vedra Club. Stockton, Whatley, Davin & Co. was a developer of Ponte Vedra Beach in the early 1930s and owned the Ponte Vedra Club. Today, Ponte Vedra Beach is home to THE PLAYERS Championship golf tournament and its world headquarters for the PGA Tour, thanks to a now-legendary 1978 deal in which developers Jerome and Paul Fletcher “sold” PGA Tour Commissioner Deane Beman 415 densely wooded acres. The purchase price: one dollar. In addition, the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP Tour) also calls Ponte Vedra Beach home, bringing even more national and international attention to the area as a recreational Mecca.

ANASTASIA ISLAND Just across the Intracoastal Waterway from St. Augustine you will find Anastasia Island, a barrier island lined with wide sandy beaches, offering sun-seekers a number of options in addition to the well-known St. Augustine Beach, home of the St. Johns County Ocean Pier and Pavilion, which features a splash fountain and playground for children to enjoy. St. Augustine Beach is an area boasting a variety of motel, hotel, condominium and camping resort accommodations, and is located four miles south of downtown St. Augustine on Highway A1A Beach Boulevard in the City of St. Augustine Beach.

national chain restaurants and retailers are just a short drive away. While on Anastasia Island, be sure to visit: Anastasia State Park – At the St. Augustine Inlet, one mile east of downtown St. Augustine and directly north of St. Augustine Beach on Highway A1A. A little farther north, Lighthouse Pier invites fishermen to the tranquil Salt Run, a tributary of Matanzas Bay that separates the popular Anastasia State Park from the city limits of St. Augustine. Frank B. Butler County Park – Two miles south of St. Augustine Beach on Highway A1A. Butler Beach was developed as a recreation area for blacks during the age of segregation by Frank B. Butler, a wealthy black businessman. Crescent Beach – Three miles south of St. Augustine Beach on Highway A1A. The coastline has a crescent-shaped curvature, affording beachcombers a breathtaking view of the many beach houses and low-lying condos that dot the landscape. Fort Matanzas National Monument Beach – At the southern tip of Anastasia Island, at the Matanzas Inlet, seven and a half miles south of St. Augustine Beach on Highway A1A. Fort Matanzas is an old stone stronghold set on an island in the middle of the Matanzas River that is only accessible by ferry boat. About a mile further south is Marineland, which opened in 1938 as the world’s first oceanarium.

THINGS TO DO “ON THE ISLAND” Pack up the car – on many of our beaches, you can even drive the car right onto the sand – bring a cooler with sandwiches and sodas and spend an entire day! Other popular activities are beach volleyball, miniature golf, bicycling, roller-blading and tennis. Many items such as surf boards, jet skis, and kayaks are available to rent from area retail shops, which also carry swimwear, beach accessories, casual wear and gifts. More than 150 restaurants lining Highway A1A offer a little taste of everything, and our relaxed beach lounges provide the perfect setting for a serving of nightly entertainment. For additional dining and shopping, S.R. 312 is a causeway that connects the northern end of St. Augustine Beach with busy South St. Augustine, where many

VILANO BEACH Vilano Beach is synonymous with sand and water, as it is located on the northeastern coast of Florida and surrounded by water on nearly every side. Bordered by the Atlantic Ocean on the east, the Intracoastal Waterway on the west, and the St. Augustine Inlet on the south, Vilano Beach is the perfect picture of a sunny Florida town. Driving into Vilano Beach is a highly recommended experience itself. From St. Augustine, simply follow A1A north, over the Usina Bridge (also known as the “Vilano Bridge”). The vista that emerges as you reach the crest of the bridge is one of stunning, almost surreal beauty.

REST, RELAXATION AND LOTS OF FUN A boardwalk with environmental signage passes over the saltwater marsh and beneath the Usina Bridge, joining the residential area and Town Center. Vilano Beach offers two pavilions with public access to the ocean and river, one of which features a children’s splash fountain. The area is one of the most popular spots in the county for swimming, surfing and skim boarding. But if more adventurous activities are to your liking, you won’t miss out on any of the action here; rent a deep-sea or fresh-water charter and enjoy a day of fishing. Parasailing, windsurfing and jet-skiing are also available for rental. There are a handful of hotels and motels situated within walking distance to the beach, as well as several eclectic restaurants with oceanside seating and Intracoastal views sprinkled along Coastal Highway A1A. Area beaches include: North Beach – Over the Vilano Bridge on A1A North at second highway walkover. Facilities include restrooms, showers, highway walkover, off beach parking, grills, playground, and picnic pavilion. Pavilion use is on a first come, first serve basis.

ROMANCE

IN ST. AUGUSTINE Whether you’re looking for a place to spend your honeymoon, anniversary, or any other celebration of romance, St. Augustine and the beach communities of St. Johns County offer an unparalleled blend of enchanting escapes from which to choose. The city’s romantic aura is inescapable, but if you and your love really want to lose yourselves in a fairy tale dream, here are a few suggestions: Visit the Beach at Sunrise .Sunrise in St. Johns County is best enjoyed while strolling handin-hand down the soft, white powder sand of St. Augustine Beach. Watch the dark sky surrender to a vivid orange horizon as the sounds of the waves bring about a sensual rejuvenation of your souls… setting the tone for a perfect day with your sweetheart. Explore the Streets Early .You won’t have to search long for a coffee shop, café or restaurant that suits your mood. Sit at an outdoor table surrounded by a garden of ivy and flowering plants. Enjoy drinks and pastries while you watch the city wake up. Seek Out Spa Services .A handful of spas and salons are nestled amongst the shops and eateries of St. Augustine. Wander into one and book a relaxing massage. Many have specialty service packages designed exclusively for couples. Spas Be Pampered Wellness Spa................904-729-9525 Debbie’s Day Spa & Salon...................904-825-0569 Youthful Medical Spa............................904-273-6286 Enjoy a Romantic Dinner .No matter what you’re craving, you’re almost sure to find it in the downtown area of St. Augustine. It isn’t uncommon to see a couple lingering over exquisitely prepared meals with glasses of wine in their hands and flip-flops on their feet. .Refer to the listings of restaurants starting on page 40 of this guide. Take a Horse-Drawn Carriage Ride .There is something magical about the experience of a horse-drawn carriage tour of the historic downtown area. Listen to the “clip-clop” of hooves on old cobblestone as you and your love ride comfortably through what could easily be mistaken for the streets of a European town.
