Going to college in a tourist town has an appeal all its own. With the St. George Street shopping district one block to the east of campus and the Lightner Museum one block to the south, Flagler students have ample opportunity to explore the rich cultural heritage and international flavor of St. Augustine. And there is always time for a relaxing day at the beach, about four miles from campus.

Because of its traditional interest in art and theatre, St. Augustine provides a rich supplement to the cultural programs and activities presented by students and faculty. Students are encouraged to participate in various community-sponsored activities and to attend plays, lectures and concerts offered by outside groups and organizations.

Even better is the fact that places like the Lightner admit Flagler students free of charge, while other area attractions, and many merchants, offer discounted rates. Some of the more-popular local attractions are the Alligator Farm, the Fountain of Youth, Ripley's Believe It or Not, the Castillo de San Marcos and the Oldest House. Several boats offer sightseeing trips around the harbor, and the St. Augustine Sightseeing Trains and horse-drawn carriages become familiar sights for Flagler students, faculty and staff.
