Things to do in St. Augustine, FL!
We love St. Augustine and the beach and love to share everything we have enjoyed from visiting over the years!
A MUST See for our family! Every visit to downtown, we must walk around the fort, run around in the moat and take in the beautiful views of the waterway. We've only gone inside the fort (a fee needed) a few times and it doesn't keep the kids' attention long BUT is very cool and worth while for the views from the upper level. Try going at sun set too!
