You could visit St. Augustine just for the history — it’s the oldest city in America, founded in 1565. Or maybe the beach is your thing. We have over 40 miles of coastline, and driving and parking on several of them is perfectly legal. Oh, and they’re rarely crowded. Museums? Got that. Zoo? Covered. Plenty of attractions, entertainment, and terrific restaurants. Ghosts? Yeah, we got ’em.
