No trip to the first coast would be complete without a trip to St Augustine. Sightsee all the historical landmarks and leave time to eat and drink your way through town and Anastasia Island. Restaurant recommendations: Fish Camp, the bar at Ice Plant is a can't miss, Llama, Prohibition Kitchen, and Odd birds are a few great choices
