Founded in 1565 by Spanish explorers, St. Augustine, Florida holds the distinction of being the oldest continuously-inhabited European-established settlement in what is now the continental United States. In addition to enjoying the city’s 40+ miles of scenic, eastern Florida coastline, Fool’s Paradise attendees can cross over the Bridge of Lions and step back in time to explore St. Augustine’s Historic District, a web of cobblestone streets filled with acclaimed bars, restaurants, and historic landmarks.
