St. Augustine is the most beautiful place I've ever been to. I loved my visit there
Yeah, such a great place to visit and explore. Can't wait to go back!
That fortress is incredible. My friends were there a few days ago and raved about St. Augustine.
Yeah, it's such a fun town to explore. There's still so much more that we couldn't even get to! We have to go back for sure. -Brian
I live there for many many years, and it's still Magical to me and always will. To live in oldies City in the United States was Amazing
It's lovely when you still find magic in a place you've lived for so long. You live in a wonderful little city. Thanks for watching! -Isa
Thx, I looked everywhere for a good st Augustine video
One with the points of interest
You're welcome! Glad we could help. :) Hope you have a great trip! -Brian
Saint Augustine is great! Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! We think it's pretty great, too. Can't wait to get back.
Perfect Little Planet We’ve gone a couple of times. Would totally go again. We still haven’t gone through the lightener museum tour. I’ve been to the Riley’s museum in San Francisco, but would like to check out the one in Saint Augustine just to compare.
*I live 25 miles away in Mandarin & visiting St. Augustine is always AWESOME... It's like going to another Beautiful Country :) :) We Like taking our Beach Cruiser Bikes early in the a.m. & Ride All Over seeing the Sights/People.*
So cool that you get to go often. I bet it's so great to ride around on a beach cruiser before all the tourists show up. Such a unique place! -Brian
*Brian, It's Refreshing/Wonderful... :) THANKS, St. Augustine is Heavenly. Your Wife is so CUTE/Nice.*
That weird cloud is actually smoke from a nearby wildfire. Also, the pirate guys come from the fact that St. Augustine was raided several times by pirates in it's early history.
Thank you! Wish you were there with us! Sounds like you would have been a great tour guide. :) -Brian
That’s true I have been to st.augustine with my class for a field trip stayed for one night it was amazing!!!
Holy cow that cross was huge! Love the upbeat quality of this video, you guys are awesome!
i saw that cross on my field trip. also i see wonder works on my recommended.
Nice to see people having fun exploring and learning. Thanks for posting 👍🏻
We love exploring and learning about new places. Thanks so much for watching! :)
I love my city !!! Thanks for showing me how truly awesome it is !!! Definitely come to St.Augustine in the winter, between thanksgiving and a couple weeks after New Years... it’s the NIGHTS OF LIGHTS (the whole city is lit up with Christmas lights literally the whole city) COME AGAIN!!
I'd love to see that! We'll try to get down there next year for it for sure. It looks so cool! -Brian
Subscribe to my fishing channel in St. Augustine and support locals
One of the most thorough guide to St Augustine with attraction names in the description.
Thanks for making the video!
My favorite city anywhere. Have loved it and visited since my grandparents retired in 1963 to East Palatka, 25 miles away. This fine video does the city honors. A great place to visit.
Thanks so much! What did we miss that you recommend we do next time?
I love your happy smiles on this video.
You guys totally rock!
Thanks so much, Edna! We really loved exploring St. Augustine. Glad that came across in our smiles. :)
I honeymooned in St. Augustine in 1974. We went back often over the years and explored every nook and cranny of the city. On the 20th of this month we'll be married 47 years. Nice video.
Congratulations!! I'm sure you've seen more of the city than we covered in this video. What did we miss that you think we should do on our next visit?
@@PerfectLittlePlanet -- The trolly tours are great. The driver can provide lots of info about the city and sights. But, with Covid I wonder if they had to discontinue those tours.
Saint Augustine has a rich Spanish and British history and heritage. I went to Saint Augustine in November of 2006 on a bus tour from Hialeah where I live to the oldest Spanish town in the United States. It was very cold on my first visit with my family and stayed at a hotel and had lunch and dinner and breakfast! I went ot the many wonderful places of the city! It was so cool!
Sounds like a great trip! I've been to Hialeah, as well - down by Miami, right? Hope you have a great weekend! -Brian
Perfect Little Planet Thank you. I love your travel videos! They a are great.
I love St.Augustine! It's my second home! It's truly a treasure
Yeah, we really liked exploring it. We would love to go back and spend more time there! -Brian
Prove it I live there And work at the teeny martini bar. Subscribe I will release videos weekly
My favorite city in America. Yes, I'm from Michigan, and yes, I'm retiring in St Augustine.
Back in UK now but lived there when I was younger beautiful place beautiful beaches and of course beautiful American people
We did a tour of Florida 5 years back ,.. i left my heart in St Augustine ,.. we’ll be back one day to pick it up
Your video is making Saint Augustine call my name even louder than it already is😭
Haha, yeah, I think it's about time we went back for another trip! So much more to see. -Brian
Wish I could appreciate my home town as much as you guys did! You guys should see our royal family too some time. St. Augustine has a royal family that shows up for certain events (they normally show up down by the boats on the Wednesday before Easter). My friend is a princess lol. Shame you went after they got rid of the Spanish Quarter (not the Colonial Quarter which isn't half as good). I used to reenact there because Spanish Quarter is basically step back in time into a Spanish settlement of the 1500's. Thanks for posting this! It's interesting seeing a tourist's perspective! :)
Aw, that's too bad they got rid of the Spanish Quarter. That sounds fun. Thanks for letting us know about royal family. We'll keep an eye out for your friend next time we're down there. :) Thanks for watching! -Brian
St. Augustine looks amazing! You did a wonderful job with the video. Good job! ☺👍
Thank you so much! Yes, St. Augustine is a great place to visit. -Brian
I watched this video right before going to St. Augustine this past weekend. Really helpful. I saw all the best spots featured. Thanks you two.
We're so happy to hear that. Glad we could help you prepare for your trip and you had a good experience there. Thanks for letting us know! -Brian
@@PerfectLittlePlanet Weird question, but where is the best place to park your car there? Going next week and havent been there since I was a kid. Oh and loved the video. Thanks !
I've been going to St. Augustine for 25 years..Sometimes 3 times a year..Love the place....PS: Also love NYC were I live..
Lucky! This was our first time going, but we definitely want to go back. Where in NYC do you live? -Brian
Awesome. I've got to explore Queens more. I only know the airports! -Brian
my hubby and I are going there next June. Taking the camper and staying at the Anastasia State Park. Thanks for the preview. :)
Cool! We didn't get a chance to go explore that park so please let us know how it is. -Brian
This is a Superior video. So much fun can feel your joy. I'm definitely subscribing to your channel. Thank you so much.
I LOVE THIS CITY I VISITED ALL THE PLACES YOU GUYS VISITED. I JUST DIDN'T CAPTURE THE MOMENT THANKS. I 'VE ENJOYED
Such a fun place to explore, right?! We had a blast wandering all around St. Augustine. Thanks for watching! -Brian
I have lived here my whole life. It is truly a blessing. The "mote" around the fort was never meant to hold water. it was used as a surprise element for those that ran uphill towards the fort in an attempt to scale the walls. The "mote" could not be seen until it was too late leaving the enemy sitting ducks for slaughter.
That's really interesting! I had no idea. That's such a great tactic.
I just came back from it! AMAZING I loved it I went to see the fountain of youth and drank it it taste like tap water but at least I stay young!
@Rachel, we'll check back in with you in 20 years and see if the Fountain worked. :)
@AmarNathan, the Fountain of Youth park is open, just socially distancing and wearing masks if you need to, but most of it is outdoors so you don't need to. The Castillo de San Marcos is still closed as of mid-October, without a reopening date in sight yet. www.nps.gov/casa/learn/news/castillo-de-san-marcos-fort-matanzas-closed-due-to-covid-19.htm
st agustin was originally Spanish territory first and was where the first settlers arrived from the old continent
Yeah, the history of this place is so interesting! Thanks for watching! -Brian
I went over their alot of times and we was on vacation and went to st Augustine and went inside a beach hotel it was the best we stayed in there for 2 days it was fun I can't wait until we go over there again
How fun! We would love to go back and explore more. Enjoy! For whenever you make it back :) -Isa
I’m going there in 2 weeks from Alabama, I don’t get to travel much so I can’t wait to see all this
That's great to have a hookup like that so you can stay for free. St Augustine is a great place to visit!
This was very useful guys we are defiantly including this place in our tour next month !
Thanks I am going on a school trip soon and am glad this is on UA-cam
Glad we could share our experience with you. Have fun on your school trip! -Brian
Great idea. We live close and only have been there once. Looking to plan a trip and make a video review as well.
Yeah, there's lots more to do in St. Augustine that we didn't get to do in this video, so definitely try out some more stuff and make a vlog. Link to it here once it's up! -Brian
Y’know I like St. Augustine more than Disney World. And I am going to St. Augustine again tomorrow!
I like to visit the fort and pirate museum. My favorite thing to do is swim in the ocean
Don't just do the city. Check out the beach! It's the best beach in Florida in my opinion.
Yeah, we've heard it's amazing! We were only there for a few hours so we didn't have time this trip, but we definitely want to go back to relax on the beach for sure! -Brian
Not even close. Rocky and not alot of beach front. Destin is way better
I love your video! I feel I was there with you all. I must say the 600 year old tree is old but I believe the oldest tree in Florida is "Lady Liberty", an approximately 2,000 year old Bald Cypress Tree at Big Tree Park in Sanford FL. America has trees so old like between 2000-4000 years old.
Oh my gosh, thank you for setting the record straight! My bad for getting my facts wrong. Looks like the Old Senator in St. Augustine is just an old tree, and I just assumed it was the _oldest_ tree because everything else in St. Augustine was the oldest and first of its kind. Thanks for letting us know about Lady Liberty. We'll have to go check out Big Tree Park now to go see it.
@@PerfectLittlePlanet The Lady Liberty in Sanford had a big brother called the Senator there in the same park, older than she was but tragically The Senator got burned down about 3-4 years ago by some crack addict who set the poor tree on fire. Here in Orlando we have a small city park called Big Tree Park with an old oak tree 500+ years old. Trees are amazing.
@@hdrake1000 Yeah, my wife and I recently took a trip down to Jedidiah Smith state park to see the redwoods in California. Absolutely incredible!
Thanks...your video will be a big help on our upcoming trip to the area!
You're welcome! Glad we could help you plan. Hope you have a great experience! -Brian
Im 11 and every year of my life I've been there. Make sure to go to Osteen's! ITS SO GOOD YALL
I keep hearing about Osteen's and I can't believe we didn't go on this trip. Next time for sure. Thanks for the tip! -Brian
Wonderful video. Thank you for featuring so many great places. Bed and breakfasts and historic inns offer guests a personalized experience for their guests. (And yes, all rooms in the St. Augustine inns have private bathrooms). ;)
That's good to know. :) Maybe we'll check out your place next time we're in town. -Brian
I live here! Its so amazing!
Such a great place. Hope to get back there again after the pandemic ends.
The only part about living in florida i miss Is st Augustine. I would highly recommend everyone go visit and learn about the amazing history.
What part did you live in? We loved the Keys and visiting Disney too, but we agree that St. Augustine is definitely a highlight. -Brian
@@PerfectLittlePlanet i lived near palatka. I don't know if you've heard of it, but I'll just say it wasn't the best place.
Never heard of it, but when I searched it, google asked if I wanted to see the Palatka jail log, so that can't be a great sign. -Brian
Wao beautiful city, regards from Panamá
Thank you! It is a very beautiful city. We enjoyed visiting it. -Brian
Henry Flagler built 2 hotels in downtown, along with railroads and a church dedicated to his daughter. Those hotels are now Flagler College, and City Hall & the Lightner Museum. The Lightner Musuem also hosts weddings and receptions.
A wedding in Lightner Museum would be so pretty! Thanks for the extra info about how all the buildings started. That's interesting!
Yes, almost everything is correct here: camera work, editing technique and music settings are really good compared to many other attempts and make the video a (even if fast-moving) experience or show this oldest city in the desired light.
Thank you so much for the compliments. I'm still working on slowing things down. I always feel like I need to rush or the video will be so long it'll turn out boring. But then I end up moving too fast through everything. Always learning and improving. Thanks for the feedback! -Brian
Tnks n I m glad u were there when weather seems nice ,,,,except that Cloud??????but tnks it was nice to see young people to visit an old n clean city,,,,,😐
Yeah, St. Augustine is a great place for all ages to visit. We really enjoyed our time there and we hope we can go back soon. -Brian
Awesome history here. I need to visit!
Yeah, it's really interesting to learn about everything and the role St. Augustine has played in America's history. Thanks for watching! -Brian
Cool!!! My son and family are there now.
I hope they had a great time! It's a fascinating little city! -Isa
Perfect Little Planet Yeah, they did. They went mostly so my grandson could check out the college. Don’t know what he thought of it though. From what I saw in your video, it’s a nice town/city. I especially liked the Fort.
Anastasia beach is pretty nice too . It’s mostly retirement community and nice homes ...
Thanks for the tip. With those residents, I bet the beach is pretty chill. Sounds like a good place to relax.
You guys are great! Love it! Headed down there in a couple months to make some VR video of the Searle’s Sack thing.
Thanks! Searle's Sack sounds like a fun experience. What's the VR video for? Is it personal or for some sort of project? -Isa
It’s for my channel 🙂 last year I got a VR camera and started making vids of my travels with it. I’ve been wanting to go and see the Castillo for years, and when I found out about the re-enactment it was the perfect excuse to go ahead and plan my trip!
The milk lady 😂
Alyssa says "they're awesome people! I want to be as awesome as them!!"
Thanks so much! Alyssa, we have no doubt you can be way more awesome than we are. :)
I'm in St. Augustine right now :).
Lyrics Joseph hi I ll be there in a few days to spend New Years , is there like a pass to buy to get into every museum ?
@@pamellag869 Omg amazing, and yes there is a pass for all the museum's :).
Really enjoyed watching your vlog :) Thanks for this quality content!! Keep it up. I've just subscribed!
Thank you! Welcome to our little family. :) Thanks for the support and the kind words. -Brian
If you want law and order, safety and security, low taxes and a great city to live in consider this beautiful city and county. Its heavily conservative thats why all the pre mentioned are all available.
all the fortresses looks very similar: st augustine, san juan, la habana and cartagena, the mail goal was to keep the pirates away
Very true. I haven't been to Havana yet, but the other three all look and feel very similar. I guess they found a design that worked and they stuck with it.
I learned a lot, and that was fun. Thank you. I hit the like and subscribe buttons.
going there on my 4th grade field trip tomorrow! my mom did not go for my bro and sis. cause too many chaperones. also we are going there again the weekend after my nephews birthday. turning three! going there for the haunted ghost tours, staying there, also when my mom went there with my sissy she saw ice cream place. and its been 15 years since my mom went. i love this channel! *53 dislikes is insulting.* *the 53 dislike people are gonna get hurt.*
also what he said.

Edit: the view on the stone fort was BEAUTIFUL! i instantly wanted to go swimming.
Thanks so much for loving our channel! We love you, too! We always appreciate nice comments. :) I hope you had a good trip to St. Augustine. Stay safe while you're traveling around. -Brian
Brian did you go to Bok Tower Gardens? If not, i recommend you going there, it is a sight to see! Nature, 1 Restaurant, a water park, And a Singing Tower! Its In Lake Whales. My Grandma And Me And my Bro or my Sister go there every sunday. and its been *4 YEARS* since i have been there. Have a great day!
@@TixandBucks2168 No we haven't been there. Thanks for the recommendation! We'll definitely check it out next time we get down there. -Brian
I love my home st Augustine is the best
If you ever come back would you please go to the old jail it’s really cool
We did visit the Old Jail (9:24 in the video). We had a blast there. -Brian
I know this video is a few years old, but we are planning a day trip to St. Augustine, FL and this was so helpful! Thanks for the tips! (Also - where did she get her hooded jacket? It’s looks so cute and functional!)
This is where I live!!!! Also the hurricane is hitting me in 10 minutes so please pray for me and the affected people
How are you doing, Gracie? Did you and your family survive the hurricane ok? Hope all is well. -Brian
I went here for a field trip! It's so funny because we walked in the same spots 😂
That's cool that you saw all this too! Did we miss anything that you did?
You didn't go to the oldest house, potters wax museum, Ripley's, the old store. Been there 9 times, and have seen something new every time. The lighthouse ghost tours are scary as crap. The gator zoo is cool too.
I'm sure we missed a lot-we didn't have nearly enough time! And I can't do ghost tours, but the gator zoo sounds super cool! - Isa
I’m thinking about taking my boyfriend this weekend, thank you for this video!
Any tips on parking and experiencing the beautiful city without spending a bunch of money?
We parked at the Visitor Center which is $15 for the entire day. But if you're going to be there on Saturday, they do free parking for the Nights of Lights celebration. Check this website for locations: www.floridashistoriccoast.com/page/park-st-augustine
wao and wao very interesting, to know that the Spaniards first discovered North america and 55 years later the English arrived, and if the Spaniards had defended the walls and the flag, the whole country of the USA would speak Spanish
lee gar and if Spanish lost to the French and English lost to the French,that’s a whole different story
Good video. We’ve been going for 30 years but a visit to St. A without a visit to Hazel’s Hot Dogs is not a visit to St. A.
Going back to a place for good food is always a good reason to return. Thanks for adding a place to our reasons to go back to St. Augustine! As soon as this pandemic is over...
Actually they have a celebration for the Fourth of July down there as well
You missed the buskers, the fudge shope, and Anastasia island state park.
Oh wow, we missed a lot! Time to go back. Thanks for the tips! -Brian
@@PerfectLittlePlanet I'd wait until the fall. Not sure if I'll be back this year trying to get into Appalachian trail volunteer work. But if I am I'll play for you at hypolita and Spanish street. If you miss me at my tree there go see the metal arts shop across the street they are always featuring new artists and artwork.
Can you imagine if at the transferring of power if the queen walked in was like “yup this is ours again” lmao
That would have been so great if the actual queen showed up for it!
I think the powder room is blocked off now there was a little door covering in
Oh, that's interesting. Well, not much to see in there anyway (1:54 in the video if anybody reading this comment wants to see it).
Should do the ghost tour in st aug its year round and you will learn alot
We heard about that! Definitely want to check that out next time we're back in St. Augustine. Thanks for the tip! -Brian
The Spanish built that fortress, I don’t see why so interesting to see the English soldiers playing a thing there 🤷♂️ San Agustin was a Latino city.
Yes, the Spanish built the fortress, but they handed it over to the British after Spain and France lost the Seven Years War and had to give Florida to Britain as part of the Treaty of Paris. What we saw was the reenactment of that transfer. I thought it was interesting.
You two are awesome....especially the “cute” one. Lol.
Thanks! I'm assuming you mean Isa, and I wholeheartedly agree. -Brian
Spanish castle!!
I love Spanish castles! We've been to similar ones in Puerto Rico and Cartagena, Colombia. They're so fun to explore!
As one of St Augs Pirates AND one of its mermaids, come share the magic.
I went to your channel, I was really hoping to see some pirating/mermaiding videos. You sound awesome!
Went there last June
Perfect Little Planet it was fun I pretty much went to the places where you guys went
Check out all things datil. Datil peppers are native to St Augustine and you will see them in most restaurants, made into sauces. O'Steens restaurant shrimp sauce is a perfect example. Very spice and very sweet, they are put into so many local dishes and sauces. They actually have a festival for the Datil Pepper every fall. www.floridashistoriccoast.com/events/datil-pepper-fall-festival/ So much good food to eat, but they are still around in other dishes the entire year. It's kind of a "locals" secret that they let others in on.
That's really interesting. I've heard a few times on here about O'Steens, but not about the peppers they use in the sauce. Thanks for sharing. I love learning new things about places we've visited. -Brian
St Augustine is AMAZING!! I feel so lucky to live there, when I watched this video I felt so proud that people appreciated it
Yes! We loved St. Augustine. It was such a fun city to explore and you have so many things to do and see there. And it has such an interesting history! What a great place to live! -Brian
Same!!
St Augustine is one of the best towns I’ve ever visited
@@PerfectLittlePlanet
Agree sir
its one of the best ive visited.
the STRATEGIC OLD STRUCTURES was just AWESOME😍.
the HISTORY speak for itself.
what's very interesting is THE CITY'S Hidden story.
GHOST STORIES😱
Lucky! We are currently dreaming (haha) of living there one day! My favorite place in the world :)
