Why Visit St. Augustine?

Just a short, one-hour drive from Jacksonville, the city is easily accessible for a weekend getaway or a day trip. It’s also a popular stop for boaters traveling the Great Loop, offering a charming respite along their journey with its historic waterfront and marina facilities.

Over the years, we’ve brought countless friends and family to St. Augustine. History buffs are taken directly to Castillo de San Marcos, the Colonial Quarter, or the Lightner Museum. Outdoorsy visitors enjoy exploring Anastasia State Park or Fort Mose, while city lovers get a thrill out of experiences like the Ghost Walking Tours or the iconic Old Town Trolley Tours. All to say, no matter one’s interests, St. Augustine has something to offer.

When to Visit St. Augustine

St. Augustine’s climate makes it an ideal year-round destination, with each season bringing its own charm. Winters are mild (64-70°F), allowing you to comfortably enjoy the outdoors even in December.

Spring and Fall (73-84°F) bring warm, pleasant weather and lower humidity, making it ideal for outdoor as well as indoor activities.

🌞 We personally love visiting St. Augustine during the spring and fall for the temperate weather even in the afternoon!

All in all, it depends on what you’re looking to get out of your trip to St. Augustine. If you’re dreaming of spending your days lounging by the ocean, the height of summer is a great season to visit! But if you’re looking to enjoy downtown activities like walking tours or trolley rides, the spring and fall are preferable.
