Castillo de San Marcos National Monument
St. Augustine, Florida | 87 Miles
Built to defend Spain’s claims in the New World, the 17th-century Castillo de San Marcos is the oldest masonry fort in the continental United States and the oldest structure in St. Augustine. Constructed of coquina—a type of shell-stone—the walls of the fortress proved impenetrable to enemy attack, and the Castillo was never taken by force.
Start your scenic ride along the coastline on State Road A1A near New Smyrna Beach. Take in the historic Ponce Inlet Lighthouse, the Ormond Scenic Loop, and the St. Augustine Lighthouse on your trip to the Castillo.
