St. Augustine





Today we leave Hilton Head and head to St. Augustine for a few days. A quick jump over to I-95 and around 200 miles we arrive at North Beach Camp Resort. What a neat place.....the Tolomato River on one side and the Atlantic on the other. At the campground we have a private entrance to the beach and two restaurants within walking distance.

 With only one full day to see St. Augustine we started out at a 5:30 am wakeup in hopes of seeing the sunrise. A little overcast but a pretty site anyway.





North Beach Campground Store and Check-In



Our first stop in town was to see the St. Augustine Lighthouse and the boat builders that were there today.
Next onto the Fountain of Youth and more history on the expedition of Juan Ponce de Leon.

Ponce de Leon's Legendary Spring
It really makes you think when you are standing on the first colony site that dates back to 1565.

El Galon Ship was our next visit....this actually sails and was used recently by NBC for a make of a movie.

A beautiful sunset at Aunt Katie's Restaurant in the Camp Ground....wonderful fun and food. Off to our next stop tomorrow in Melbourne.
