Many of my summer vacations have been spent in St. Augustine Beach, Florida, also known as the oldest city in the nation. From the beaches to the historical attractions, and countless places to shop, this city surely doesn't lack entertainment!
Once you reach the island by crossing the Bridge of Lions, you immediately get a sense of the old Spanish style that the downtown area continues to preserve. The shops, galleries, and restaurants often have their own unique style and architectural structure. While visiting downtown, you can tour the city on the trolley, enjoy the view from the top of the 219 step lighthouse, explore the Fountain of Youth, and even tour one of the old Spanish forts (Castillo de San Marcos).
As you would expect, many tourists are drawn to the nearby beaches. Countless ocean themed restaurants cover the shore and truly offer the paradise experience you would want when visiting one of Florida's many beaches. Crowds are often brought to the beach for surf contests, pier fishing, and of course relaxing in the sun and sand.
After a long day at the beach, we often visit a family favorite, Sunset Grille. The top deck allows you to experience the breeze straight from the ocean, while enjoying fresh seafood. The mahi mahi, fried shrimp, scallops, and calamari are hard to pass up, especially when the southern service is so nice. Here is a link to their menu. Sunset Grille Menu
Although I have been to St. Augustine probably over 10 times, each experience is new and exciting. The Florida sunshine and view of palm trees is something I will always look forward to.
