Florida's Historic Coast Travel Planner 2015 | Page 18

Discover After Dark Nightlife is anything but the same old story on Florida’s Historic Coast. Here’s just a sample of the many after-dark offerings. Top Spots for Nightlife Live Music Wine on the Roof Local Talent See your favorite performer in concert or discover a new favorite band at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre or Ponte Vedra Concert Hall. Enjoy free evening concerts all summer long at the St. Augustine Beach Pier and the Plaza in historic downtown St. Augustine. See the oldest city in the glow of the setting sun from the rooftop vantage point at the San Sebastian Winery. Enjoy wine, sangria or a beer with friends new and old. Live music emanates from every tavern, bistro, bar and restaurant in St. Augustine’s historic district. Groove to the sounds of smooth jazz, Spanish guitar, classic rock, folk and pop performed by talented local musicians along with your favorite ales, fine wines and craft cocktails. Celebrate the sunset in Vilano Beach the first Saturday of the month and enjoy live music, great restaurants, vendors, breathtaking views and plenty of fellow sunset revelers. Haute Dining Ponte Vedra Beach’s nightlife gets started with fine dining. Top chefs serve up inventive cuisine at Vernon’s in the Sawgrass Marriott. The dignified grandeur of the Seafoam Dining Room at Ponte Vedra Inn & Club is equaled by its sophisticated menu. And Ruth’s Chris steakhouse in Ponte Vedra Beach always delivers unsurpassed flavor. Combine history with a little mystery and a few frights along the way with one of St. Augustine’s many ghost tours. Art Strolls Start the month off right on the first Friday at St. Augustine’s famous art walk. Visit more than 20 galleries during an evening stroll along with a wine tasting or two. Nights that Shine Celebrate the holidays during Nights of Lights each November through January in St. Augustine. More than 3 million white lights sparkle throughout the historic district for a light show like no other. Evenings on the Beach Dine outdoors to the sound of the waves rolling onto shore in St. Augustine Beach at local favorites like South Beach Grill, Salt Life or Sunset Grille. Then take a moonlight stroll on the sand. PHOTOS: FLORIDASHISTORICCOAST.COM (2) Sunset Party Spooky Fun 16 SJVCB_141200_NIGHTLIFE.indd 16 12/19/14 12:40:03 PM
