St. Augustine Vacation Tips

The first and most obvious thing you should do is consider what you’re actually going down there for. A St. Augustine vacation is completely worthwhile for the sites and the culture, but it’s going to be beneficial to you in the long run to find out what interests your travel partners have and what you’re personally trying to get out of your St. Augustine vacation.

The second thing you should consider is where you’re going to stay. Remember, there are plenty of options outside of the pricey hotel rooms and unpredictable Airbnb’s out there. Consider renting or owning a St Augustine timeshare; that way, you’ll have access top-quality amenities, spacious accommodations, and the financial comfort and security that comes with a timeshare rental.

Lastly, make sure you’re fully prepared for ground travel. Public transportation is common and the Sunshine Bus Company is a great way to move around the city. If you’re feeling ambitious or would like to be active, consider renting bikes! You’ll get some exercise while getting the best, closest views of the coastline!
