St. Augustine, FL is located in Northeast Florida and is the oldest continuously occupied European-established settlement and port in the continental United States. //San Agustín// was founded in September 1565 by Spanish admiral Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, and subsequently served as the capital of Spanish Florida for two hundred years. It remained the capital of East Florida as the territory changed hands between the Spanish and British, and remained the capital of the Florida Territory until it was moved to Tallahassee in 1824. Frontier started flying to Northeast Florida Regional Airport (Website: [] ) on May 2, 2014 with flights from Trenton, NJ. The airport also serves Jacksonville, which is 35-45 minutes away. Avis, Enterprise, and Hertz serve the airport. The locals call this area "Florida's Historic Coast", which includes St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra, and The Beaches (Website: [] ). For some things to do with the kids try Ponce de Leon's Fountain of Youth (Website: [] ) or the Alligator Farm Zoological Park (Website: [] ), or the St. Augustine Pirate and Treasure Museum (Website: [] ), or set sail on the Black Raven Pirate Ship (Website: [] ). They all are sort of fun and humorous to visit. You won't have any problem finding a nice place to spend the night. There are plenty of properties/hotels/resorts to spend time at in this area. The Old City House Inn and Restaurant was very nice (Website: [] ) and right in the center of town within easy walking distance of other sights. As for food, one restaurant with solid food and a view is Meehan's Irish Pub & Seafood which is located on the waterfront in downtown St. Augustine (Website: [] ); you'll need to sit outside to avoid the cigarette smoke, but it's worth it. If you want Florida seafood, head to Cap's on the Water (Website: [] ). Make sure that you eat on the deck overlooking the inner coastal waterway as the sun sets. The deck is covered by canopy of live oaks strung with lights which enrich the atmosphere. They don't take reservations; so, get there early. Also, check out the A1A Ale Works (Website: []  ), which is one of Florida's oldest Breweries. The veranda overlooking the Intercostal Waterway is an ideal place to sit. It's Key West meets Bourbon Street -- very enjoyable. I've attached websites that I found for nightlife in St. Augustine (Website: [] and [] ), which includes bars and ghost tours. It's a fun little area to visit!
