Saint Augustine is one of the oldest cities in Florida. After defeating Seminoles and taking their land, Pedro Menendez, a Spanish explorer, founded the city in 1565. It was also used as a foothold for colonization of the landmass that is now the United States. 

It is now a charming tourist town with numerous stores, historical attractions, and picturesque hikes that look like they are straight out of a movie.
