Capsule: St. Augustine is the nation's oldest city, and an ongoing preservation effort has meticulously restored many colonial structures to their original appearance. With its 17th century fort, horse-drawn carriages and 18th century Spanish quarter, St. Augustine seems more like a charming European village than a modern American city.

Waterfront Homes: St. Augustine and its adjacent barrier island boast 43 miles of pristine beaches, and premier oceanfront estates and Intracoastal Waterway residences can be found in communities along the island.

Golf and Tennis: Eight miles north of St. Augustine is World Golf Village, home of the World Golf Hall of Fame as well as two championship courses. Surrounding The King & The Bear course are luxurious residential neighborhoods of custom homes, estate-sized lots, and stunning natural vistas.

Weather: The temperature in St. Augustine is cooler than in southern Florida cities with an average mean temperature of 79 degrees. Most days are sunny and delightful.

Culture: The winding, cobblestone streets of the historic district are lined with art galleries, antique and gift shops. As with any location steeped in history, many exciting museums are located in the St. Augustine area. Active community and professional theaters provide avenues of artistic expression for amateurs and professionals in St. Augustine.
