From fascinating historic attractions and museums to time at the beach and cocktails, you’ll find it all in our beautiful city on the Atlantic Coast.

Florida is a year-round destination; some might argue that spring and fall are the best times to visit. The temperatures hover in the high 70s to low 80s in both those seasons. And while it can get hot in the summer (some people love that!) and a bit cooler in the winter, we’re lucky in this area to rarely break out a coat (maybe in the evenings). The busiest time to visit St. Augustine tends to be from June to August, so for those who prefer a quieter getaway, plan for those other sleepier months! No matter what time of year you visit, there are plenty of fun things to do in St. Augustine.
