Saint Augustine - St. Johns County

In St. Augustine, history isn’t something you visit; it’s something you live among. Mornings begin with church bells and the creak of old doors along St. George Street, where shopkeepers sweep the steps and say hello as you pass. The Castillo de San Marcos still watches over the bay, its walls catching the first light. Crossing the Bridge of Lions, the cobblestones turn to sand and surf, where families and friends gather on St. Augustine Beach to end the day. The air hangs with salt, and every sound—waves, footsteps, or laughter—seems to echo a little longer here. Locally owned bakeries, galleries, and markets line the historic blocks, reminding us that the past and present can coexist. Around here, community is inherited, cared for, and shared.
