"The quaint city is about 460 years old and is considered the oldest settlement of African-American and European origin to have been continuously occupied in the United States. Known for its monuments, museums, shops, and stunning views of the Intracoastal Waterway and Atlantic Ocean, St. Augustine is a popular destination for tourists and one I still visit frequently as an adult."
"St. Augustine is a pretty popular spot - so, it's up to me to plan accordingly if I want to see the city in a quieter, calmer way. I typically avoid going between mid-November to mid-January, as the city's Nights of Lights display attracts thousands of visitors. This can lead to significant gridlock and traffic congestion, causing issues for residents. Summer is also tricky, as there's a sea of vacationers ready to enjoy the Florida sunshine when school is out."
St. Augustine is a historic coastal city roughly 460 years old and the oldest continuously occupied settlement of African-American and European origin in the United States. The city offers monuments, museums, shops, and views of the Intracoastal Waterway and Atlantic Ocean, making it a popular tourist destination. To avoid crowds, avoid mid-November to mid-January during Nights of Lights, summer, and local spring breaks. Early fall and late spring are quieter. A cloudy Saturday morning in May reduced crowds on one visit. The Kookaburra, an Aussie-American espresso bar, is recommended as an essential breakfast stop and morning starting point.
