Things To Do in St. Johns County | Local Realtor’s Guide to St. Augustine Fun, Food & Florida Living

Hey there! 👋 I’m Gail DeMarco, your local St. Johns County Realtor®, and today I’m sharing my personal list of must-do experiences in St. Augustine and the surrounding area — especially if you’re wondering how we survive the hot, humid summers in Florida. ☀️

When I first moved here, I wanted to experience Florida at its toughest — July and August — and guess what? I fell in love with it. The humidity? You get used to it… and it’s actually great for your skin! So here’s how locals (and smart visitors) make the most of summer while living our best Florida life.

💙 Top Things To Do in St. Johns County:
🏖️ Hit the Beaches: From Mickler’s Beach and St. Augustine Beach to Salt Run and Ponte Vedra Beach, you’ll find parking all along A1A. Or join me at my favorite spot — the Ponte Vedra Beach Club — where they set up umbrellas, tables, and cold drinks on arrival.
🐊 Alligator Farm & Zip Line: Kids love it, adults are amazed. See every crocodilian species on earth — and if you’re brave, zip line right over the alligators!
🏰 Historic Downtown St. Augustine: Explore the fort, cobblestone streets, restaurants, ice-cream shops, street musicians, and boutiques — all in America’s oldest city. It’s safe, clean, and full of charm.
🚋 Hop-On Trolley Tour: The best way to see it all without walking in the heat. There are 30 stops — perfect for families and grandparents.
🍸 Teeny Martini Bar: My go-to spot across from the fort — fun, local, and full of character.
🌾 Nocatee Farmers Market: Every weekend, grab local fruit, honey, crafts, and Florida-made goodies.
🎶 St. Augustine Amphitheatre: An intimate venue with big-name artists like Willie Nelson and Casting Crowns — only about 500 seats, so every spot feels VIP.
⛵ Sunset Catamaran Cruise: Departing from Vilano Beach — live music, free margaritas, and unforgettable views of the sunset over St. Augustine. You can also rent your own boat through St. Johns Boat Concierge Service — no membership needed!

💡 Every activity I recommend is something I’ve personally done. This isn’t AI research — this is real Florida living, shared by someone who calls it home.
