About St. Augustine

St. Augustine was founded in 1565, 42 years before the English colonized Jamestown and was then a thriving Spanish outpost. It is indeed America’s oldest continuously populated European settlement. For the next three hundred years, the coveted harbor changed hands between the English and Spanish, finally becoming part of the territory of Florida in 1821. 

The old town is a maze of cobblestone streets lined with a rich assortment of historic buildings, many exhibiting the characteristic Spanish colonial revival style. The well-preserved Spanish fort, Castillo de San Marco, remains one of North America’s oldest stone structures and is a great place to connect with the area’s colonial past. St.Augustine has fun ‘night-life’ with plenty of tasteful hangouts and some creative cuisine restaurants. The waters surrounding St.Augustine include the St.Augustine inlet - the San Sebastian River, and the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW). Marinas and boatyards are scattered along the Intracoastal, north and south of the city center, with the main municipal marina located on the southern side of the Bridge of Lions. The ease of access from the Atlantic, the convenient assortment of suppliers in a concentrated area and the historic charm of the area, make St.Augustine a worthwhile stop while cruising the Florida Coast.
