"Stretching for almost a quarter-mile over the water, the Jacksonville Beach Pier is the best hangout spot in the area.

Fishing is the most popular activity at the pier; there are even designated areas for deep-water anglers."

"Like most piers, the Jacksonville Beach Pier is in a constant struggle against the elements. The first pier from 1922 was destroyed in 1999 by Hurricane Floyd. This was rebuilt within five years, but then Hurricane Matthew came along in October 2016, and Irma a year later, causing new damage."

"What started out as a primitive watchtower erected by the Spanish to intercept enemy vessels approaching Anastasia Island, became the site of the St. Augustine Lighthouse. The lighthouse has undergone much throughout its tumultuous history, changing hands from Spanish, British, to, eventually, American rule in 1867. Beginning with the onsite maritime museum with its massive collection of 19,000 objects, archival documents and archaeological specimens, there is no shortage of Instagrammable content to capture here."

"Like so many other sites in St. Augustine, the Lighthouse is a cherished landmark from another era. It’s significant for two main reasons—first because of its role as a vital watchtower that led ships safely into the St. Augustine port for more than a hundred years and second because of its longstanding survival as an architectural icon to the city. The original lighthouse was closed in 1874 on the same day that the new one was completed."
