St. Augustine, Florida is a city of many faces, and of history old and new. It's beaches and attractions, ghost walks and Spanish forts. It's shopping by the City Gates and riding in a horse-drawn carriage through the Ancient City.
St. Augustine Florida has something to please just about everyone -- old, young or somewhere in between.
It's thought that Juan Ponce De Leon found the fabled "fountain of youth" here in St. Augustine. The spring is still there, and you can take a drink, but there's no guarantees on the youth part!
