It is not mentioned on travel boards or in the brochures, but it is a Bakery in a little stone building in the back yard behind the tall coquina wall. You can get a mini loaf of stone baked bread, a small bowl of picadillo, a cookie and soda for like 5 bucks. Really very good. and a cheap find.

There is a new pirate museum, it was a bit pricey but decent. The trolley is always kind of neat and relaxing..... student and military discounts can be had... go to the booth on the main thoroughfare.

On the trolley trip, you can stop by the Monks Vineyard for tastings. ALso, there is a para sailing boat, helicopter rides and lots of other historical places to go. As the nations oldest city... lots to be seen

Best of luck,
Mick

Very fun suggestions. Thanks so much!

There is a sightseeing cruise in the Matanzas Bay...by the Santa Maria Pier...and the sunset one is best...to see dolphins and manatee. The old streets of "downtown" offer some really cool, neat little shops but one must walk them to find them..as they are "hidden jewels" amongst them. Nombre de Dios has a really old, really neat grounds and cemetery to it...that is that HUGE steel cross heading north on A1A. There is the Foiuntain of Youth....and they have an "observatory" tour that is awesome...you would really enjoy that! The Trolley offers a Haunted Ghost Tour later at night if that is appealing to you! Hope these help as well. I have been going to St. Augustine for many,many years..and still always find something cool. There is the Old Fort right on the Bay...
