The first time here, we were taken by some younger friends of ours. At night, there is a live band on the open air roof and the age range of the people here made us 50-somethings feel very comfortable. It closes at 11 and of course there is a winery downstairs during the day.

We had a great sail on a warm day in January during the Nights of Lights. They don’t have a set sailing path, they go where the wind takes them. Watch the sun set and enjoy the beauty of the St. Augustine skyline outlined with sunlight.
