St. Augustine Ponte Vedra 2008 Travel Planner - (Page 4) Welcome to ST. AUGUSTINE, PONTE VEDRA & THE BEACHES M iles and miles of unspoiled beaches. A place where time travel exists. Laid-back in luxury. An escape to St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra & The Beaches enchants with three escapes in one. Along the way, you’ll discover that some of the best parts of the beaches aren’t even beaches. Beside roaring waves, creeks and rivers gurgle. Sand dunes rise up and marshes lie low, inviting a marvelous menagerie. Yes, there is much to explore. But it’s perfectly acceptable to do nothing but tread barefoot as you create castles – and memories – out of sand. After all, there is a fairy-tale fascination to this place; it’s a fascination you can feel. Old flames have a way of generating new sparks, like candlelight presiding over a repast of contemporary cuisine in a centuriesold setting, or the magic of myriad brilliant bulbs illuminating the town and its heritage. Your imagination ignites at the touch of timeless textures – tabby, coquina and brick. Nearly 450 years later, the Nation’s Oldest City inspires its own class of old-Florida charm. Complimentary to a coastal retreat, the class is casual. Golfers actively indulge in the game on gorgeous greens. They seek inspiration in legends enshrined in a Hall of Fame, and legends-in-the-making who challenge local championship tees. Gracious resorts envelop spa-goers in serene simplicity. Shopping for the antique or the avant-garde invokes whimsy – all within a haven where high life meets low key. Isn’t it time you took a real time-out? 4
