Explore the St. Augustine historic district and you’ll find it to be a unique relic of the history of Florida and is a must-see when visiting! Here you’ll be immersed in the culture of the nation’s oldest city where many of the buildings and landmarks date back to the 1700s and today are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
If you're staying in Ponte Vedra Beach, you're a good 40-45 minutes from Downtown Saint Augustine, so plan accordingly! If you're planning on arriving early or staying beyond the weekend, we highly recommend spending the day exploring!

Do not hesitate to book a reservation at TPC Sawgrass for their amazing brunch! Yes, you will be here to celebrate on Saturday evening, but there is plenty to explore at the clubhouse. Check out their pro shop or book a "story teller" tour to learn more about their fascinating history. Highly recommend for golf lovers!
The Spa at the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club is an experience like no other! If you are interested in a day of pampering, I recommend booking ASAP as spots fill up weeks or even months in advance.
If you have the time, make it a multi hour affair! Show up early for your service, have poolside lunch and drinks, and get ready for your evening in the beautiful locker room.
