St. Augustine: OK or tourist trap?
I'd like to do a weekend trip from Georgia to Florida. St. Augustine is just inside the 250-mile radius I'm allowed to travel without approval from the military.
I like medieval arms and armor, so I'd definitely want to visit Castillo de San Marcos.
Is St. Augustine worth the trip?

St.Augustine is well worth the trip. Of course there are tourist trap things there, but the historical part of the city and the Castillo de San Marcos are wonderful. The city itself is sometime hard to navigate in. Many of the old streets have been preserved and the city is constantly rerouting traffic (not detours) in an attempt to find the best compromise between preserving the old and keeping modern day traffic flowing. Lots of good seafood to be had also.

St. Augustine
St. Augustine is a beautiful city and unique in its character and architecture. Many great restaurants, wonderful beaches and is very safe. A great town to stroll in, take a carriage ride, or trailer train. The lightner museum located in city hall is a must IMHO. Also don't forget the fort and the starbuck's coffee shop in the casa monica hotel. Also on the edge of town are two of the largest outlet malls on the east coast. Am I prejudice? Of course-it's my city
