- Plaza de la Constitución - The Plaza de la Constitución is the centerpiece of historic St. Augustine and the oldest public space in the United States, established in 1573. Encircled by colonial architecture, it has been a witness to centuries of history, from Spanish rule to civil rights demonstrations. Today, it hosts events, monuments, and a vibrant community atmosphere.
- Saint Johns River - Pirates once roamed the Matanzas River in St. Augustine, drawn by Spain’s treasure-laden ships and the city’s strategic port. The river served as a gateway—and battleground—for notorious raiders like Sir Francis Drake and Robert Searles, who attacked and looted the settlement. Hidden coves and winding inlets provided ideal hiding places for pirate ships, while cannon fire from the Castillo de San Marcos defended the city’s shores. Today, the river may be tranquil, but its waters still echo tales of gold, gunpowder, and daring adventures that shaped St. Augustine’s swashbuckling past.
- St. George Street - St. George Street is the bustling heart of historic St. Augustine, brimming with charming shops, cafes, and centuries-old buildings. Once a colonial thoroughfare, it now invites visitors to wander through history, offering a vibrant blend of culture, cuisine, and local treasures in a pedestrian-only setting.
