Before you go: Saint Augustine tips

Transportation

  • Walk the historic district: The old town is compact; walk St George Street and the Castillo area on foot.
  • Hop-on hop-off trolleys: Sightseeing trolleys loop around the main attractions with stops across town.
  • Park once: Use the Historic Downtown Parking Facility and explore on foot to avoid hunting for street parking.

Security

  • Protect from the sun: Florida sun is strong; use sunscreen and drink plenty of water.
  • Swim near lifeguards: On St Augustine Beach, swim near lifeguard stands and watch for rip currents.
  • Watch for storms: Afternoon thunderstorms are common in summer; move indoors when lightning is near.

Saving

  • Explore free sights: Stroll the Bridge of Lions and the Flagler College exterior without paying admission.
  • Visit off-peak: Avoid holiday weekends and peak season for cheaper hotels.
  • Pack a beach picnic: Bring food to Anastasia State Park or the beach rather than eating out every meal.

Weather/Clothing

  • Hot humid summers: Wear light breathable clothes and bring a hat and sunglasses.
  • Mild winters: Winters are generally mild but evenings can be cool; bring a light jacket.
  • Hurricane season: From June to November, keep an eye on forecasts and consider travel insurance.

Cultural

  • Learn the history: St Augustine is the oldest continuously inhabited European-founded city in the US; visit the Castillo de San Marcos.
  • Try datil peppers: Local dishes and sauces use the datil pepper, a regional speciality.
  • Tip for service: In the US, tipping around 15 to 20 percent at restaurants is customary.

Local Hacks

  • Visit at Nights of Lights: From November to January, the town is lit up with holiday lights.
  • Climb the lighthouse: The St Augustine Lighthouse offers great views over the coast.
  • Go early to St George Street: Explore before mid-morning to avoid crowds.
