From the President / CEO
Visitors and Convention Bureau
Welcome to Florida’ s Historic Coast— where timeless stories, rich cultures and natural beauty invite you to slow down, savor the moment and discover something unforgettable.
St. Augustine, the nation’ s oldest continuously occupied European settlement, along with Ponte Vedra and The Beaches, is a place shaped by centuries of Native American, African American, Spanish, Greek, Minorcan, French and British heritage. This vibrant legacy lives on through our art, cuisine, festivals and streets steeped in living history.
But this coast isn’ t just about the past— it’ s about the present moments that matter. You’ ll find soul in our local seafood, serenity on 42 miles of white-sand beaches and inspiration in every sunrise or stroll through the Historic District. Whether you’ re a foodie, nature lover, history buff or music fan, Florida’ s Historic Coast offers a journey that blends culture, wellness and discovery.
Golfers are at home here, too. As the home of THE PLAYERS ® Championship and over a dozen acclaimed courses, this destination is where legends play— and so can you.
Plan a romantic escape, a family vacation or a midweek getaway where stories come alive and new memories begin. From immersive heritage trails to fresh culinary experiences and signature events like the Sing Out Loud Festival and the Fort Mose Jazz & Blues Series, there’ s something for every traveler.
