Pirates, Beaches and a St. Augustine Staycation

If you’re in need of a getaway—or just looking for a staycation—come over and check us out in St. Augustine, Florida.

Besides being the nation’s oldest city, with plenty of activities for the whole family, we also have something history books occasionally forget to mention:

Beaches.

And if you’re a pirate, you’re in for a tasty treat.

St. Augustine has a long relationship with buccaneers, privateers and assorted swashbucklers. Visitors can explore pirate history, take to the water on a pirate-themed cruise, visit the St. Augustine Pirate & Treasure Museum, and discover plenty of stories about the less-than-respectable characters who passed through the Ancient City.

Add the Old Jail, forts, old streets and centuries of occasionally questionable behavior, and we’ve got a treasure trove worth looting.

Figuratively, please.

If you’re planning a visit, Abraxi Taxi can help you get around town and share a little local knowledge along the way.

Come for the history. Stay for the beaches. Keep an eye out for pirates.

Remember, this is a family town, so we’ll try to keep the pillaging rated PG.

Arrrrrrrgggggghhhh!
