Fort Matanzas National Monument

Excerpt from the above site, quote . . . “Coastal Florida was a major field of conflict as European nations fought for control in the New World. As part of this struggle, Fort Matanzas guarded St. Augustine’s southern river approach.

Washington Oaks Gardens State Park

Excerpt from the above site, quote . . . “The gardens make remarkable use of native and exotic species, from azaleas and camellias to the exquisite bird of paradise, sheltered within a picturesque oak hammock. Visitors can picnic and fish from either the beach or the seawall along the Matanzas River. A number of short trails provide opportunities for hiking and bicycling. Visitors can learn about the park's natural and cultural resources . . . . “ unquote.

Castillo de San Marcos

Excerpt from the above site, quote . . . “A bastion of the largest empire ever created, the Castillo was built to protect and defend Spain’s claims in the New World.
