GET TO KNOW ST. AUGUSTINE
A place to make your own.
Give the historic waterfront a slower visit. Castillo de San Marcos, built from local coquina, is an anchor for a compact history-focused stay. Choose a short walking area and leave space for an overnight.
Use a compact historic-district outing, then give Anastasia Island its own window. Leave time for uneven surfaces, heat and a longer meal.

JAX is this plan’s airport gateway; arrange the onward journey to St. Augustine separately. Sunshine Bus is a local St. Johns County service with routes to check for your stay.
Local bus information does not establish a direct JAX airport connection. Review the full transfer before choosing a flight or accommodation.
