St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra and The Beaches offer exciting itineraries and dedicated planning tools for cruisers
Florida is home to hundreds of ships departing for destinations far and wide. Just a short drive from two of the state’s major ports (Port Canaveral and Jacksonville), Florida’s Historic Coast has launched a new dedicated webpage to help travelers extend any cruise with a memorable Florida experience.
“Why end your vacation at the port when adventure is just a stone’s throw away?,” asks Susan Phillips, President and Chief Executive Officer of St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra and The Beaches Visitors and Convention Bureau. “With 459 years of history, 42 miles of pristine beaches, a thriving culinary and arts scene, and perfectly preserved architecture, Florida’s Historic Coast is a treasure trove of activities and attractions ready to be explored.”
Florida’s Historic Coast is nestled along the Northeast Florida Atlantic Seaboard, a short hour south of the Port of Jacksonville and only 90 minutes north of Port Canaveral. St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra and The Beaches have long been recognized as premiere destinations by top tourism publications and professionals.
To help visitors plan their adventure, the Visitors and Convention Bureau has created a dedicated webpage, including travel information, attraction highlights, and select itineraries that showcase the area’s most popular charms.
