Summer Haven is the southern most point in the St. Augustine area. It is just north of Marineland, our nation's oldest aquarium, which is undergoing a major renovation. St. Augustine is our nation's oldest city, settled in 1565. My favorite advice is to take a horse-drawn carriage ride during your first trip to town. It's utterly charming and very informative - from there pick your favorite spots and plan to visit a few during your week: Fort Castillo de San Marcos, Ripley's Believe It or Not, The Fountain of Youth, the Lightner Museum. We're 45 minutes away from the NASCAR excitement of Daytona; 1.5 hours from the madness of Disney, Universal and Sea World. We're 1.25 hours from Kennedy Space Center - which is a wonderful day trip. There are also 150 beautiful state parks in Florida, and two national parks in our county. One can rent a boat for the day, to explore the beautiful intracoastal waterway. So much to do - come for a visit, stay for a lifetime!
