Why Old City St Augustine draws crowds year after year?

Have you ever wondered why destinations manage to draw flocks of visitors not once or twice, but again and again? It is a little something called character, and it is not easily defined despite what the average dictionary might have to say on the subject. A great example of what it takes to bring about a great amount of appeal through character can be found in the incomparable St. Augustine. What makes St. Augustine so appealing? In a large part it’s blending of a modern city with the Old City section that has tons to offer:

• Artists galore – The Old City of St. Augustine is home to art galleries, workshops, and even just plenty of artists.
• Amazing history – St. Augustine’s Old City has an amazing history that is unrivaled by nearly any other destination in the world.
• Vibrant night life – St. Augustine has a very vibrant night life that may not be as well known as Miami, but is almost equally diverse.
• World-class cuisine – The culinary arts are not neglected in St. Augustine. In fact, there are many top notch eateries that are well known for their offerings.
• Things to do – It does not matter if you enjoy intellectual pursuits, artistic endeavors, the great outdoors, fun in the sun, or aquatic adventures, but St. Augustine has it all in spades. About the only thing that St. Augustine does not have is snow.

Goodbye, interstate traffic

Here, in Saint Augustine, Florida, the weekend is yours and yours alone. Book a Bayview Suite at The Kenwood Inn on Marine Street. From your room you can see the blue waters of Matanzas Bay, you can hear the clop of horses’ hooves on the rough streets below, you can smell the pastries baking in the kitchen downstairs. The Kenwood is your home base for the weekend, your haven after an afternoon on the beach, your respite after long walks up and down the red brick-paved streets of the Oldest City. 

Welcome and welcome back.

St. Augustine – Nights of lights

The Nights of Lights began this year on November 19 and continues through the end of January.
Excitement built all day long as the downtown streets became more and more crowded with visitors and residents alike. By late afternoon the Plaza already showed signs of being the center of a very big event. Families had spread blankets where toddlers could play and groups of seniors had their folding chairs in a circle as they conversed.
