February was indeed the month to celebrate love. But romance continues to be a main attraction on the Historic Coast of Florida. From the passionate whispers of Juan and Maria, to the wedding vows of Steve and Cathy, St. Augustine and Ponte Vedra Beach have provided a magical setting for romance for centuries.
Spring is in the air here and vow renewals, proposals and weddings are the perfect way to pronounce your love. In St. Augustine, you’ll find a real castle, horse-drawn carriages, moonlit sailing cruises, ancient streets and mysterious lanes.

Wondering where to stay on your romantic getaway? St Augustine boasts magnificent hotels like the historic Casa Monica Resort and Spa and quaint Inns like the Bayfront Marin House Bed & Breakfast Inn, which provide the perfect setting for romantic retreats.

All major airline carriers serve both airports of these airports. New non-stop service with Breeze Airways between Jacksonville and seven cities across the US begins in May 2023. And Air Canada began direct flights from most major Canadian cities, making Florida much more accessible.
