Peter Yesawich, CEO of YPartnership, America’s leading experts in travel, leisure and entertainment marketing spoke last week at the St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra Visitors and Convention Bureau meeting stating that St. Augustine is the most fascinating destinations in Florida!!
Of course those of us that live here already knew that. Not only do we have wonderful beaches like the rest of Florida but we also have outstanding dining, attractions and of course shopping. But, what makes us most fascinating is history. St. Augustine is the oldest city in America and no one else in Florida can claim that moniker. We have the Castillo de San Marco (the Fort), the oldest wooden school house, the oldest drug store, the oldest house, the oldest street… and I joke with the guests that stay with us At Journey’s End Bed & Breakfast that I am the oldest Innkeeper! But I drank from Ponce de Leon’s Fountain of Youth also here in St. Augustine…so I don’t actually look 450 years old!
Yes, St. Augustine has old world charm, romance, culture, beaches… and even old Florida quirk! This place should be on everyone’s vacation destination list!
Make your plans to visit soon. Check out these websites to plan a “fascinating” vacation on Florida’s History Coast!
And remember….its only 5 years, 3 months and 19 days until St. Augustine’s 450th Birthday Celebration!
