With cobblestone streets, centuries-old architecture, and salty Atlantic breezes, St. Augustine blends Old World charm with beach-town ease. As the oldest continuously inhabited European-settled city in the U.S., this coastal gem on Florida’s northeast coast is rich in history, romance, and timeless coastal beauty.
Wander through the heart of St. Augustine and you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a storybook. The historic district is filled with Spanish colonial buildings, hidden courtyards, and local boutiques tucked into 18th-century storefronts. Start your day with a coffee on St. George Street, then explore iconic sites like Castillo de San Marcos, a 17th-century fortress with sweeping views of Matanzas Bay.
History blends seamlessly with coastal charm here. Tour the Lightner Museum, housed in a Gilded Age hotel, or climb the spiral staircase of the St. Augustine Lighthouse for panoramic ocean views. For nature lovers, nearby Anastasia State Park offers soft dunes, tidal marshes, and peaceful walking trails—just minutes from town. After sunset, the city’s gas lamps flicker to life, illuminating cozy restaurants, ghost tours, and live music tucked into quiet corners.
Greetwell guests can book curated local experiences, from historic walking tours and boat excursions to artisan food tastings that capture the unique flavor of St. Augustine.
