Did you know that St. Augustine is the oldest continuously habitated European settlement in North America ? St. Augustine was founded in 1565 - that was 55 years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock ! Historic Castillo de San Marcos, now a national monument operated by the National Park Service, was completed by the Spanish in 1695. This is where Ponce de Leon landed in 1513 !

From sunrise to sunset St. Augustine has something for everyone ! Other landmarks include the Bridge of Lions with its own history , the St. Augustine lighthouse and museum, and the Lightner Museum

Of course there is the beach ! Miles of uncrowded coastline with white sand that squeaks when you walk ! Experience nature and the unspoiled beauty of Anastasia State Recreation Area, just up the road from Ocean Villas. Come watch the dolphins off shore and collect shells.

St. Augustine, The Bridge of Lions, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the Atlantic Ocean.

Marineland, the world's first "sea world", and the Alligator Farm are two popular attractions in the St. Augustine area.
