The outdoor dining here is to die for! It's the most beautiful spot in all of St. Augustine. I ALWAYS stop here whenever I'm in town. Make sure to make a reservation as the wait can get rather long.

A MUST stop! This is the coolest little bar and restaurant. It was decorated beautifully at Christmas, but I think it's a must stop anytime of the year!

The Collector Inn is where I stayed during my last visit and I'm not sure I can stay anywhere else now. The grounds are gorgeous and you can enjoy them while visiting their bar/lounge, The Well. Sit outside by the firepit and enjoy a drink!

This state park has it all. Camping, fishing, water sport rentals, beach access, beach rentals, a gift shop, bathrooms, and an amazing concession stand (with alcohol!). I have only used the beach access area, but it was a 10/10!
Anastasia State Park

You just have to visit the fort. History demands it. My girls and I visited this when they were younger. I think they woudl appreciate it a little more now that they are older, but still fun!
Castillo de San Marcos National Monument (U.S. National Park Service)

The best way to view this lighthouse, in my opinion, is by boat on a bay cruise. But that's just me! It's so pretty.
