Castillo de San Marcos National Monument
11 S Castillo Dr, St. Augustine, FL 32084
Known as “the fort” to locals, the Castillo de San Marcos is the oldest masonry fortification in the continental United States. It is a 17th-century Spanish stone fortress built to protect Florida and the Atlantic trade route.
A large park surrounding the fort is also a nice place to sit back and enjoy the waterfront or have a picnic lunch.
Spanish Bakery and Café
42 1/2 St George St, St. Augustine, FL 32084
For almost 40 years, the Spanish Bakery and Café has served hungry customers hot bread, fresh pastries and cookies, and savory empanadas. The bakery still makes everything like the days when St. Augustine was a bustling port city, with a stone hearth oven and a separate smokehouse.
If you want to grab some old-school treats, you'll want to get to the bakery early because they can sell out quickly.

St. Augustine Beach
This white sand beach has some access points where you can drive your car onto the peach, but that’s only recommended for locals who know how to maneuver through the soft sand. Some parking lots are scattered around the beach, with small boardwalks that lead right to the sand.
St. Augustine Beach is known for the shells that wash up on shore, great surf, and plenty of room to spread out with your family and friends.
