Fort Matanzas National Monument preserves the fortified coquina watchtower, completed in 1742, which defended the southern approach to the Spanish military settlement of St. Augustine. It also protects approximately 300 acres of Florida coastal environment containing dunes, marsh, maritime forest, and associated flora and fauna, including threatened and endangered species.
Hotels/Motels
Hotels like this are hard to find. In operation since 1986, Beacher's Lodge is a condo-hotel located on Crescent Beach. All the oceanfront suites have a patio or private balcony overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The large expanse of white sand always makes for memorable enjoyment.
