YACHTING MAGAZINE RECOGNIZES ST AUGUSTINE AS ONE OF THE BEST YACHTING TOWNS 2012

Located at the northeast corner of Florida, St. Augustine is the oldest occupied European settlement in the United States. Having changed hands from the Spanish, English and ultimately The United States, its incredible architecture reflects  its diverse heritage.  While it hardly seems like something to brag about, St. Augustine is home to the narrowest street in the United States. Measuring just seven feet across, connecting Bay Street to the Royal Spanish Treasury, it was designed to prevent horse-drawn carriages from riding up and robbing the treasury. History buffs with an interest in the civil rights movement will be in for a treat when touring the publicly-funded freedom trail, which includes stops at the first school for African Americans and later became the first museum for African Americans. 

Check out the August 2012 issue of Yachting for a feature on this destination.
