St. Augustine, the nation’s oldest city, is one of Florida’s most haunted Halloween destinations, with more than 450 years of history, ancient narrow streets, two historic cemeteries with graves dating back hundreds of years, a brooding Spanish fortress, and countless ghost stories.

Halloween stirs up the supernatural in St. Augustine, but visitors can enjoy ghost tours and spooky encounters year-round. Explore ghost tours, trick-or-treating, costume parties, bar crawls, haunted trails, and more throughout St. Augustine and Ponte Vedra.

St. Augustine Ghost Tours

With a huge selection of tour operators running almost nightly, you have your choice of route, format, and pace. Walking tours cover narrow streets and building exteriors while telling your stories of the haunts and history of the area, while investigation-style tours hand guests EMF meters and recording equipment to find ghostly evidence for themselves. Most companies offer both family-friendly early evening tours and later, more scary after-dark tours, so be sure to check which type you are booking depending on your group's preference.

Know Before You Go

Planning a trip to Florida's Historic Coast for Halloween? Keep these tips in mind as you craft your itinerary.

  • Book ghost tours in advance. Several tour operators cap group size, and weekend and night tours tend to fill up quickly in October. Booking a week or more out is safest.
  • Not every tour includes the cemeteries. Access to Tolomato or Huguenot Cemetery varies by operator and tour, so check the tour description if that's a priority for you.
  • Family-friendly options exist. There are trunk-or-treats, corn mazes, pumpkin patches and zoo programming geared toward kids for fun that's not too scary.
  • Wear comfortable shoes. If you're headed out on a walking tour, be mindful of St. Augustine's coquina streets and wear appropriate and comfortable shoes.
  • Plan parking ahead of time. Parking can get busy around Halloween, so keep options like the city's public garages and trolley system in mind
The St. Augustine Lighthouse is the "Mona Lisa of paranormal sites.”
