ST. AUGUSTINE


​Dear Friends, 

Wow! I learned so much on this trip to St. Augustine and had so much fun. Its a town with a lot of history but also is evolving with the times! A diverse collection of visitors was found on the beach, strolling along St George street and in the restaurants. I'll be back! Find out more by watching the full episode of Beyond Your Backyard (season three).

ST. AUGUSTINE, FL - A LITTLE LIGHT READING

 
FAST FACTS
State: Florida
Time Zone: Eastern
Currency: US Dollar
Primary Language: English
 
TRANSPORTATION
​​Air: I flew into Jacksonville International Airport and rented a car. Drive time was about an hour. Orlando-Sanford is also an option. Drive time from that airport (depending on I-95 traffic) is about 90 minutes.  

Car: Downtown St. Augustine is walkable, but I suggest renting a car to get to the the beaches and other destinations within the region. 

Cruise: The closest cruise port is Port Canaveral. It's located about two hours south of St. Augustine. Tampa's cruise port is located about a three hour's drive southwest from At. Augustine. 

Train: Amtrak does not have a train station with regular service in St. Augustine.
 
THE WEATHER
December–May are the peak travel months when the weather is warm and dry. During the summer (June–September) it's hot and humid. Hurricane season is during June–November.

In addition to being a single dad of two amazing children, I am the host and managing editor of the internationally syndicated television series "Beyond Your Backyard" for public broadcasting stations (PBS) and other networks/VOD platforms.
