Castillo de San Marcos Admission Center — Attraction in Saint Augustine

Our trip to Castillo de San Marcos on St. Augustine’s January 5th was a vibe! 🏰 It was a chill day out, perfect for capturing those aesthetic fort pics.

Considering a fee for the fort’s interior next time, but this round was all about those outside vibes – nature, boats, greenery, and a touch of hustle and bustle.
