In fact, schools remain important here, with St. Johns County being among the top school districts in Florida. There are even 20 Career Academies covering a range of occupational options to help students focus on specific career themes if they choose.

Yachtsman’s Point offers water access, but access to Florida’s beautiful white, sandy beaches is always a draw. Fortunately, in St. Augustine, there are 42 miles of beaches in the area, with some that are great for surfing, and others ideal for families. There’s a beach for everyone!

Those with a love of the arts will be happy, no matter your personal preferences. Music lovers can enjoy everything from local singers and songwriters to massive big-name concerts, and practically everything in between. Those who enjoy the visual arts will find a rich history and ongoing growth. Once the home of the largest art colony in the south, there is now the St. Augustine Arts Association that showcases national and international artists. You can also get out and enjoy the First Friday Art Walk.

There’s certainly no shortage of outdoor entertainment and activities. No matter your interest, you can enjoy hiking, biking, horseback riding, kayaking, swimming, water skiing, sailing, fishing, camping, and much more.
