Palm Coast: Come and Relax on the Quiet Side of Florida
One of Florida’s new "hot" destinations, Palm Coast’s 20-mile stretch of coastline and its natural sportsman’s haven inland are just being discovered by visitors who value its proximity to resort and culture centers, yet its removal from the stress and fast pace of metropolises. Mammoth sea turtles nest along this traffic-free, all-natural coastline. Anglers catch fish and surfers catch waves. Bayside, marshlands and estuaries harbor rare and endangered birds along Florida’s Great Birding Trail, such as the roseate spoonbill, wood stork, great blue heron and osprey. Dolphins play in the wake of passing boats and manatees herd in the waterway during spring and summer. Eco-tours on water and land introduce you to the rife wildlife, or take you on one of the nature trails in local parks and preserves. Golf is the name of the game in Palm Coast, where you can tee off at some of Florida’s finest courses.
Historic St. Augustine
St. Augustine, the oldest city in the United States, features more than 60 historic sites and attractions, national monuments, and architecturally-rich churches that render old world charm with a variety of activities for visitors to enjoy.
