30+ years ago we drove thru St Augustine and never returned. Had some time (have a lot of that now) and decided to give the City a second look. Spent 4 days and have a new favorite city. Great beaches, so much do do and see in the old city (started around 1513).
So if trying to think of somewhere to go....

    You were in my neck of the woods. I live in the northwest part of the county.

    If you haven done so already then the next time down you need to check out the area around Marineland "the world's first oceanarium". Some great beaches there and a nice marine research center.

    Mickey! I talked to you last year when you were here and missed you. Are you saying you were here again and I didn't get to see you once again? Dude for real. Hopefully you're still in the area would be great to meet up. You should still have my number.

    360° view that you may recognize. Not sure if others will be able to see the whole thing though.

    Vacationed there about 2 years ago in September and had a fantastic time.  Loved the area too and will be back.  Really cool city.  We went to a large cat (lions, tigers) refuge about 10 miles away; can't remember the name, but had to make reservations and it was awesome.

    We are actually planning a move to the Jacksonville-St. Augustine area. We visited Easter weekend to look around and really liked it. Hope to make it happen by the end of the year.

    My parents live in Flagler Beach which is about half way between St. Augustine and Daytona Beach.  We always spend some time in St. Augustine when I visit.  You should check it out at Christmas.  It's crowded but pretty amazing.

    Great pics.  I've only driven thru there and haven't had the chance to visit.

    We love that area.  I have a cousin with a beach house on the beach side of A1A in Crescent Beach so we have been there many times.  We have our eye on a couple of condo complexes on that beach as a potential investment/retirement spot.  That's where I discovered Datil Pepper BBQ sauce which is the key ingredient to the wings that won the Salado Wing cookoff.

    My favorite drive is the one down A1A from Flagler to Ormond Beach.... right along the ocean.... you can see the dolphins playing in the water nearly the whole trip!
