Store Your Luggage Around St Augustine With Bounce

St Augustine is a coastal city in Florida with a long maritime history. Its occupation by various invading nations can still be noted on the streets today although the evidence of the pirate activity that used to take place here is not quite so apparent. Rather than stepping ashore to rampage through the streets pillaging all they can find, today's more friendly visitors often head directly for the city's beaches, but there's much more to this Floridian city than beaches.

St Augustine may have lost a lot of its influential importance over the last century but, while still maintaining its historic core, it has developed in other areas. St Augustine has become a sunny haven for fans of the bygone days with its eclectic collection of museums which are as varied as wax statues and the local lighthouse. Its proliferation of first-class stores can rival even Madison Avenue in New York and its dining scene, while it may be not exactly equal to the French capital, is not far off.

Top Things To Do

It's understandable that the first thing written on your list of things to do in St Augustine is go to the beach. The second is quite probably explore the city's historic district and that's very commendable. There's a lot more besides that you really should see though, so to save you time searching for the top things to do in St Augustine, you'll find the three best museums, shops, and restaurants detailed below.

Museums

If there's one thing St Augustine has it's a wide variety of great museums. You won't get bored for a minute in any of the three selected for you here. They’re fun as well as interesting and not at all stuffy or for nerds only.

• Potter's Wax Museum: Potter's Wax Museum claims to have been the first of its kind opened in the US. Whether that's true or not someone somewhere knows. They can claim to have been open for fifty years though, and so their collection of wax figures is pretty complete. You'll be able to snap selfies with such famous faces as Einstein, several US presidents, top stars of the sporting world, and film characters like Frankenstein and Harry Potter. If you like to give yourself the creeps, do the nighttime tour of the museum's chamber of horrors. 
• St Augustine Pirate and Treasures Museum: Look lively and you'll discover three hundred years of buccaneering history at the St Augustine Pirate and Treasures Museum. Almost every part of the museum looks like the inside or deck of a sailing ship. You won't need to get out a telescope though as there are up-to-date digital interactive screens everywhere and when you get thirsty, you can adjourn to the Rogue's Tavern.  
• Lightner Museum: Housed in a historic hotel building in Downtown St Augustine, the Lightner Museum most definitely rewards a visit. The fortress-like structure and ornate gardens are in a league of their own and date back to the late 19th century when it was opened as the Alcazar Hotel. You can't sleep there now, so just enjoy the museum's extensive collections of art, elaborate furnishings, glassworks, and stuffed animals as you wander from floor to floor.

Shopping

Whatever preference you have for shops, you'll find it in St Augustine. There are indoor malls, outdoor malls, village-type malls, markets, and shops galore selling all kinds of goods from high fashion to antiques.

• Cobblestone Village: Head to the Cobblestone Village to go shopping and you'll be in for a pleasant surprise as this mall is exactly as its name suggests. Here you can wander round the cobbled streets lined with quaint old fashion-style shops and flower pots. Unless you go on a mega spending spree and the cost of it gives you a nervous breakdown, it makes for a very relaxed shopping atmosphere. 
• Heritage Walk: Heritage Walk is an air-conditioned, indoor mall where there are twenty-five individual shops. It's not huge by any means, but you can more or less find everything you need here. The fact it's indoors means you can get out of the sun for a while which is especially good if you've overdone beach time.
• St Augustine Premium Outlets: If you love designer goods but can't afford to pay full price for them, St Augustine Premium Outlets is the mall for you. This mall has stores stocking high fashion clothes and footwear or jewelry and with all the big names like Vans, Kors and Coach. Here you can spoil yourself with something new and not feel a moment’s guilt about it.

Dining

You'll have no problem finding somewhere decent to eat in St Augustine. There's a super choice of cuisines ranging from Southern to Peruvian, food that's as varied as seafood and burgers, and even food trucks with gourmet menus.

• St Augustine Fish Camp: The St Augustine Fish Camp is one of the best places in the city. It's right by the harborfront so it is a restaurant with great views as well as great food. Shrimp and oysters are stars on the menu alongside clams, octopus and grilled gator tail. Go hungry and try a mixed seafood platter and even though it might take you a while to plow your way through it, you'll be stuffed to the gills by the time you're finished.
• The Sprout Kitchen: Being away from home and having to eat out doesn't mean you can't still eat healthily. Head for The Sprout Kitchen and you'll be able to dine on plant-based dishes that contain only organic ingredients. Here you'll be able to feel good while tucking into a bowl of sweet potato miso soup or munching your way through a kale salad and know for sure you're putting something good in your body.
• Fried Chicken Kitchen: If hunger strikes when you're walking down North Ponce Leon Boulevard you can stop off at the Fried Chicken Kitchen for some proper Southern-style food. The Fried Chicken Kitchen is a bright red-painted food truck that you just can't miss. Once you smell the chicken cooking you wouldn't want to walk past anyway. If you don't like chicken, keep walking, as they don't sell anything else.
