More than 60 popular attractions including historic
sites, zoological park, museums, factory tours and
yes, even outlet malls, make for unforgettable tour
options in St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra & The Beaches.
St. Augustine, the oldest, continuously occupied European
settlement in the continental United States, is home to
some of America's most historic sites, including the
seventeenth century fortress, Castillo de San Marcos, Fort
Matanzas national monument, the Oldest House dating back
to Florida's first Spanish period between 1565 to 1763 and
the more recent history of railroad tycoon, Henry Flagler
in the late 1800's.
Ponte Vedra Beach is an elegant ocean-side resort area well
known for being the national headquarters of the PGA Tour
and site to one of the Tour's most prestigious golf tournaments,
THE PLAYERS Championship. But history is also a significant
part of the Ponte Vedra Beach story. Illustrations can be
seen on display throughout several gracious resorts.
The attractions also include living history museums,
golfing hall of fame, walking tours, scenic waterway
cruises and fine arts museums. Unique shops, many
featuring art and antiques, are situated throughout the
144 block historic district.
More than 40 festivals and themed special events bring
the colorful ambiance and history of the "Old City" to
life throughout the year.
Forty-two miles of unspoiled beaches and outstanding
year-round fishing make this northeast Florida area
one of the Sunshine State's most popular playgrounds.
If antiques are desired, then St. Augustine is an ideal
place to shop. Three distinct antique shopping areas
are grouped within five minutes walking or driving
distance of the center of St. Augustine. The Antique
Dealers Association of St. Augustine lists 25 members,
nearly all of them within two miles of the city's
historic district.
