Superb Sites and Stays
Beyond the Castillo, a heady combination of rich culture and Florida sunshine make St. Augustine—the oldest continuously occupied European settlement in the U.S.—ideal for a getaway no matter the season. Climb 129 steps inside the St. Augustine Lighthouse for a panorama of the city and ocean waters. The Collector Luxury Inn & Gardens (right), comprised of nine refurbished cottages, offers picturesque accommodations amid plantings and sculptures.
A trolley tour is the best way to take in the city’s Old-World charm and architectural gems like Flagler College (left) and the Lightner Museum (right), both former hotels built by oil and railroad tycoon Henry M. Flagler.
