Discover the Old World Charm of St Augustine Florida

 

Are you planning a fun family vacation to Florida? While Daytona Beach is one of the must-sees on your list, especially if you are a racing fan, you still should not leave out St. Augustine Florida, which is actually located just about forty miles north of the popular Daytona Beach.

After getting your racing adrenaline rush through the fun festivals like the Daytona 500 at Daytona Beach FLA, its time do something that even the ladies in your family will appreciate.   These days, there are actually only a few places in the state of Florida that can considered to have the old-world charm of the quaint town of St. Augustine Florida.  This town may be small, but its picturesque look and old-world feel can make you instantly think of it as something similar to a peaceful Mediterranean town.

The town of St. Augustine Florida is actually considered as the oldest permanent settlement in the whole United States. This is because a lot of the town’s “early days” are still very much intact and is evident through its narrow streets. And again, if you haven’t had enough of your beach Fix at Daytona, then it would be a pleasant surprise for you to find out that St. Augustine Florida offers not just one, but two long stretches of beach just across the Florida bay.

To help you plan your trip with your family to St. Augustine Florida better, here are lists of popular attractions in St. Augustine that you can choose from.

Getting around this small town is fairly easy, however, it is still best to be able to plan the tourist spots that you want to visit here ahead of time just to make sure that you and your kids would not miss out on anything.

For more educational tourist hotspots in St. Augustine, check out the Flagler College, The Lightner Museum, the Old Florida Museum, and the St. Augustine Lighthouse and Museum.

For more fun, yet still educational stops for the kids at St. Augustine Florida, there’s the Ghost Tours of St. Augustine which will surely leave your young ones in awe, there’s also the Ripley’s Believe It of Not! Museum which has always been popular with tourists, young and old alike, the St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park if your kids are big nature lovers, and the Anastasia State Recreation Area if you just want to relax and enjoy the warm sunshine with your kids.

For grownups, be sure not to miss a tour of the Castillo De San Marcos as well as the San Sebastian Winery so that you and your partner can have some much needed time for yourselves even while on vacation with the kids.
