This is where colonial America began, 55 years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock and 42 years before Jamestown thus giving St. Augustine claim to the nation's oldest continuously occupied city in the nation.

Enjoy the views of theriver from the 600 foot long Riverwalk or from the Observation Tower. And don't forget to drink from the Fountain!!!! Warning: tastes like sulphur.
