Castillo de San Marcos is a National Park. If you don't have one already, you can purchase a America the Beautiful – National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass– Senior Pass - Cost $10 if you are 62 or older and a US citizen at the park. It gets you and 3 guests lifetime free access to all National Parks.

In St Aug take the trolley tour - all day access and stops all over town.

The early evening boat ride in the harbor is great.

We like the Columbia Restaurant

Have Fun!
