UNMATCHED HISTORY � UNPARALLELED ARCHITECTURE � UNFORGETTABLE GOLF � UNDENIABLE ROMANCE
From the President / CEO
Welcome to Florida ’ s Historic Coast , also known as St . Augustine and Ponte Vedra Beach , the oldest continuously occupied European settlement in the United States . Our destination was settled by Spanish explorers in 1565 , but it has also been home to many cultures — Native American , Greek , Minorcan , French and British . You ’ ll find this diversity influences everything from food to architecture , shopping to entertainment and , of course , the many festivals and special events enjoyed year-round by visitors and locals alike .
Our international appeal and European flavor distinguishes us from all other destinations as an authentic place to experience international culture , arts , cuisine and history , right here on Florida ’ s Historic Coast .
