Food Scene

The Floridian is my absolute favorite place to eat in St Augustine. You cannot go wrong with anything on their menu. Their food is all locally sourced. There is a great selection of craft beer, cocktails are fantastic and the service is wonderful. Seating is both inside and out. They are one of the few places in town that take reservations. Call: 904-829-0655. "N Grits is my personal favorite. Dog friendly with outside seating.

Great spot for breakfast or brunch. They tend to get crowded on the weekend, so plan to go early or during the week. Excellent service, great food with a southern twist. Closed Mondays.

If coffee is your thing you will love the Kookaburra. They have 4 locations but downtown is their original spot. The Iced Aussie is perfect on a hot day and the Honey Badger is my favorite on a cold day.

Parks & Nature

Vilano Beach is about 3 miles away. Walking the beach is a must. If you head towards the right and walk past the inlet, you will get a nice view of the city from the water. I often find little sharks teeth while walking near the rocks on the other side of the inlet.

This park is dog friendly.

Every 1st Saturday 9:00 -12:00 Musket training.

Arts & Culture

The building itself is a sight to see. It was formally the Alcazar Hotel, built by Henry Flagler in the late 1800's. It's had one of the worlds largest indoor swimming pools at that time. The Cafe Alcazar is now located there and it is a great place to start or end your visit of this special place.

Old Coast Ales is a fairly new brewery in the area. They have a great atmosphere and a great beer selection. They don't serve food but you can grab some delicious tacos next door.
