📸 Jacksonville Must-Visit | Historic Walk in St. Augustine
When daylight saving time ends, clocks suddenly fall back an hour—caught me off guard! On a slow-paced first Sunday of November, we drove about 50 minutes from Jacksonville to St. Augustine, Florida’s oldest city, for a charming historic stroll. 📍 First stop: Flagler College, a liberal arts college with a crest that looks straight out of Gryffindor! Its Mediterranean-style architecture—red brick walls and white columns—makes it feel like a hidden garden in the heart of the city. 🚗 Parking Tip: Skip the paid lots and find free street parking near Carrera St or Valencia St in the nearby residential area. From there, walk toward the college, then continue through the historic district, past the harbor, and along the ancient city walls. Bonus Tips for Your Visit: Lightner Museum (just across from Flagler College) is a treasure trove of Gilded Age oddities. St. George Street is packed with quaint shops, cafés, and historic sites—perfect for a leisurely afternoon. Castillo de San Marcos, the oldest masonry fort in the U.S., offers stunning bay views. A perfect day trip from Jacksonville, blending history, architecture, and coastal charm. 🏰🌊 #TravelUSA #Florida #StAugustine #HistoricWalk #DayTrip #Jacksonville #Photography
