Publisher's Synopsis
Founded in 1565, St. Augustine is America's oldest continuously occupied city sitting in the heart of Florida's First Coast. With narrow, brick streets, the oldest masonry fort in the continental U.S., as well as 42 miles of pristine beaches, St. Augustine is uniquely southern with European influences. With 100 Things to Do in St. Augustine Before You Die as your travel companion, your St. Augustine visit is sure to be an adventure. Did you know that at one time the Spanish, the English, the French, and the Dutch were all fighting for control of St. Augustine? The town was popular before it was even a tourist attraction -- and it had nothing to do with the Fountain of Youth that's said to have magical properties! Enjoy this beautiful place with a quaint downtown that feels like a European village on the other side of the Atlantic. With more than 450 years of history, art, culture - and ghosts - St. Augustine offers a surprise around every corner while also maintaining its place as one of the top southern towns to visit for anyone who loves the modern culinary movement or the charm of Old Florida. Join author and visitstagustine.com Managing Editor, Amy Angelilli, and see why she's in love with her adopted city. It will only take a day, but you'll want to stay for a lifetime.
