St. Augustine's Off-the-Beaten-Path Attraction to Avoid Crowds
Florida's most festive Christmas spot, I'd blindly vote for St. Augustine! The popular attractions here are swarming with people during holidays, and parking is incredibly difficult π I recommend a St. Augustine spot that's away from the crowds but great for strolling and photo opportunities: come over the bridge to see the lighthouse at St. Augustine Lighthouse. The attraction isn't large, but the Christmas atmosphere is incredibly thick; it feels like you see a Christmas tree every few steps! Each tree has its own theme waiting for you to discover. My favorite is the ocean-themed Christmas tree adorned with lighthouse ornaments π I suggest coming an hour before sunset; it's not crowded and perfect for photos. After the sun completely sets, head to the old town to see the Night of Lights Christmas display; it's incredibly satisfying π π St. Augustine Lighthouse 100 Red Cox Dr, St. Augustine, FL 32080 Admission is $15, parking is free, and there are plenty of spaces available. #Christmas #OffTheBeatenPath #ChristmasHowToSpend #ChristmasTree #Florida #FloridaLife #FloridaAttractions
