Road Trip to St. Augustine Florida - The Oldest City in America 

We are planning a trip for New Years. Do you think my 17 and 20 yr old boys would enjoy St Augustine? What are some other great restaurants?

Wow so cool! What a fun place to grow up!

Very cool information!! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Aunt Minnie! ♥️

You won’t regret it !!! It’s worth it , great food , lots to do , friendly people and the atmosphere is the best that Florida has to offer .

Christmas is even better...the lights are awesome!

We hear you! Thanks to Instagrammers, our once quiet street turned into a touristic attraction of major proportions. They now come year round to snap a picture on front of a house where a mediocre movie was filmed in the 90's. Apparently, it became millennial nostalgia! Even though there are no tours or access to this house, it doesn't deter them from coming. It's a private residence, but they do not respect the privacy of the current owners, who are an elderly couple, and go into their property to get/post the best pictures. I even saw some one climbing a tree in their residence to snap a picture. They walk in the middle of our street in droves (who uses sidewalks anymore since it's all about them), violate resident permit parking restrictions because they are "only going to take a picture" (they do not realize this goes on all day) and are throwing trash on the sidewalk. We are on our own because the city is loving the millions it's raking in from tourists so the towing warning is not being enforced. What adds insult to injury is that we pay high taxes for our house and often can't park on front of it because of illegally parked vehicles, mind you our house does not have a driveway. We had purchased our house when it was a quiet neighborhood, that's why it is really ridiculous when you think a group of millennials acting irresponsibly have transformed our quality of life in a matter of years. And yes, we will be selling soon!

I hope you have a blessed move here!

Pensacola Florida was founded before St. Augustine.

There are over 50 fabulous bed and breakfasts!

St. Augustine is generally regarded as the oldest city in the U.S.A. It is the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the country. St. Augustine was founded by a Spanish admiral named Pedro Menéndez de Avilés in 1565, and it was the capital of Spanish Florida for more than 200 years.
