As the oldest city in the country, St. Augustine has its fair share of stories to tell. From the far-flung ambition of Spanish conquistadors to the budding hope of the nation’s first free community of ex-slaves, the city boasts a rich and layered cultural history. Today this sweet little patch of Florida sunshine boasts a perfect blend of Spanish flair and Southern charm, and this happy fusion is evident everywhere, from the graceful arches and terracotta tiles of the city’s architecture to the eclectic iterations of its fresh-from-the source seafood. Whether you’re looking to take a plunge into history or a just a stroll down a sun-dappled street, come see why we think St. Augustine is one of the nicest places in the South.
