We drove from Charlestown, SC across Georgia to St. Augustine Florida in a single drive,
arriving in early afternoon.

~ St. Augustine, Florida ~


We located the KOA campground on Anastasia Island just East of mainland St. Augustine at 4:00 PM and set up camp.
We then drove north on A1A and toured the St Augustine Lighthouse.


The KOA Camp is located about a mile South East of the Lighthouse.

The lighthouse keepers house. Note Conch Island in the background and the Atlantic Ocean further back.
The keepers house is now a small museum.





The spiral stairs connect to the outside wall for support.

Note that the lions are a matched pair - mirror images looking toward one another.
This bridge connects mainland St. Augustine to Anastasia Island.
