- For more fantastic photo ops, take the scenic drive along the A1A Scenic & Historic Coastal Byway, a historic portion of Florida’s coast. Along the way, there are plenty of golden sandy beaches to explore, great recreational adventures, and quite a bit of history to learn, which should include stopping in St. Augustine, the nation’s oldest city.
- Grab lunch at Vessel Sandwich Co. for scratch-made soups and sandwiches, fun beer cocktails, and a thoughtful wine list. Don’t miss the shrimp roll and the pork belly Bahn mi sandwich.
