Of course, the view from the St. Augustine Lighthouse is the number one reason to visit, but there’s a lot more here than just a 219 step spiral staircase to the top of this historical landmark. There are exhibits at the Keepers’ House and Maritime Archaeology Center, a 1782 British shipwreck to explore, and even a nighttime tour full of ghost stories and a view inside the St. Augustine Lighthouse.
The history of the St. Augustine Lighthouse dates back to 1874 and is still an active-aid in navigation on Anastasia Island. This part of Florida has a such a rich history, considering the city of St. Augustine is one of the oldest (if not the oldest) cities in the United States, founded in 1565 by Spanish explorers. You’ll find these cultural influences all over the city, from architecture and design to cuisines and museums.
Our St. Augustine Bed and Breakfast is right in the heart of downtown, but set back from the hustle and bustle of the main tourist attractions. As a guest at the St. Francis Inn you’ll be less than 10 minutes from the St. Augustine Lighthouse and Maritime Museum. It’s a great afternoon or evening outing for the most breathtaking views (especially at sunset) of the sandy beaches and bright waterways below.
