Forgot to mention taking the tour of Flagler College which once was a Henry Flagler Hotel; beautiful and very interesting. Its a college now but you can get a guided tour. Edison personally managed the electricity install.
The Memorial Presbyterian Church is worth visiting, too. Built by Flagler to honor the death of his daughter.
It was built in a year and they invented night lighting floodlights so they could work around the clock.
I guess I have a different definition of what a tourist trap is; a trap lures you in with claims of a great event or show then once you are inside its a girl and an old pony.
St. Augustine has tourists no doubt but it is filled with history, oldest city in the US, lots of beautiful scenery and has lots of cultural and ethnic influences.
I have never felt like I got ripped off. Its one of the treasures of Florida.
