- wanderingbobExplorer IIAs an aside to people visiting St. Augustine for a tour or such , there is right down town an area set aside for free RV parking , 8 hr max. It is about a block off the waterfront by the school board offices . Twelve or fifteen spaces , tour buses will pass by . Walking distance to old town sites and Fort .
- JoeHExplorer IIIYes, we love to walk around there too. We were there last month and found a neat restaurant called Celler6-- in the old town area.
We also had the unfortunate situation of getting stuck in
Barley Republic Public House , also in old town, during a long rain storm. We had to suffer through Guinness draft and Irish music !! Seriously-- it's a good place with good food and drink - Grandmom_hopExplorerWe had to make our reservation around available dates too. We normally ride up to St. Augustine during bike week and I love walking around the city. We're usually just there for a couple hours. It will be nice to enjoy it at leisure.
- garmpExplorer IIBeautiful park and very convenient to every thing. Just there in April and loved. Being our first time took a Segway tour of the city (Segways by the Sea) and worth every cent. My only recommendation is have a reservation as April was packed. WE planned our trip around the available dates.
Enjoy!! We did! - EastwacamperExplorerThanks for the info. Not taking an rv there but the restaurant sound good.
- Grandmom_hopExplorerWe'll check it out. Really looking forward to our stay there. We like the Mexican restaurant near the fort too.
- EycomExplorerIf fried shrimp is a favorite, during your visit, be sure to stop at O'Steen's Restaurant, 205 Anastasia Blvd. It's a landmark I've patronized for close to 60 years. Lacking in atmosphere, it's a small place where the blue hairs are usually sitting outside all lined up on a bench running the length of the building, waiting to dine-in. Entrance to the restroom is gained from the outside and it's about the size of a police station... the one in Carrabelle, FL. You can get a "to-go" order in about 10 minutes and take it to the nearby State Park to enjoy if you elect not to wait for inside seating. Excellent fried shrimp at a reasonable price.
- Grandmom_hopExplorerThanks :)
- TPUCExplorerIts no problem. Exit 318 State Route 16 over to Hwy 1 South to State Road 312 over to A1a Then it only a mile or so north to the park and no downtown traffic in the old town area.
