| Ocean view and beach access in this St. Augustinevacation rental. |
St. Augustine. You'll find plenty to see and do. Historic St.
Augustine, the oldest permanently settled city in the United States, dates its
founding back to 1565. It's filled with Spanish Renaissance architecture and
memorable landmarks such as the St. Augustine Lighthouse, Castillo de San
Marcos and the Fountain of Youth. You can also visit nearby Marineland, the
world's first oceanarium. It offers interactive programs such as swimming with dolphins’
adventures and touch and feed experiences.
Daytona Beach. At Daytona Beach consistently tops the
"America's Best Beaches" lists that come out every few years. You'll
enjoy 23 miles of beautiful beach that are always free and open to sunbathers
and swimmers. Cars are allowed in designated areas (depending on tides) from
sunrise to sunset. There's also the world famous Daytona International
Speedway, the Ponce de Leon Lighthouse, shopping, dining and plenty of other
attractions. For example, just south of Daytona is the Kennedy Space Center,
where you can learn all about America's space program.
Palm Coast. If golf is your bag, then pay a visit to Palm
Coast. You'll find many top-level courses, including Hammock Dunes, a Reese
Jones designed championship golf course set in 900 acres of oak and pine
forest. There's also the Flagler Beach & Pier, a quiet and quaint beach
town with six miles of beach and a lovely beachfront business district. You'll
also be right between St. Augustine and Daytona Beach, making Palm Coast a
great home base for exploring the area.
