Florida - Northeast around St Augustine Attractions
After failures in other parts of Florida, the Spanish finally managed to create a permanent settlement in this region, in St Augustine, in 1565. With few interruptions they maintained their influence here until the land was sold to the U.S. in 1821.
Northeastern Florida incorporates the stretch of land from the Georgia border to Daytona Beach. Other than St Augustine, major cities in the area include Jacksonville, a modern city with a historical port and Daytona Beach, a popular spring break destination for college students.
