St. Augustine has the distinction of being the oldest European-occupied city in United States and is also home to the oldest port. Founded by the Spanish in 1565, the city is filled with historic charms and landmarks to go along with the beaches and leisure activities that draw a large number of tourists. Visits to the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument or St. Augustine Lighthouse reveal St. Augustine's rich history, while the bohemian city also contains the best of contemporary lifestyles – including extensive pedestrian-only streets with shops and cafes. St. Augustine luxury homes fit the theme of diversity, with exceptional waterfront estates, country club luxury residences and homes that showcase an unspoiled Old Florida style.
