Visit St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra and the beaches
Along Florida's Historic Coast, history comes alive in red-brick lanes leading to centuries-old churches, in forts where soldiers still walk the grounds, and on horse-drawn carriage rides through time. Head just out of town and back to nature along 42 miles of pristine Atlantic beaches. Bring your clubs and hit the links – numerous championship golf courses await. Or bring your sweetie and get caught up in the area's timeless romance.
Today, Henry Flagler’s former Alcazar Hotel is the home of the magnificent Lightner Museum and its world-class collection of late 19th century Americana. Although the museum now has the hushed atmosphere of a library, in its heyday as the Alcazar it was far from quiet.
Follow this guide to find opportunities to enjoy beaches, outdoor activities and dining off the path most traveled.
