St. Augustine
Just as Ponce de Leon sought the Fountain of Youth in St. Augustine, you can also hark back to your younger days as you and your significant other visit the sites of Florida's oldest city. While you are here, you may want to visit the Spa at Sawgrass, which features couple's treatments and pedicures, manicures and massages. While you are in St. Augustine, you can arrange to take a trip out to sea on the schooner "Freedom," which departs from City Marina. Those who stay in Saint Augustine will likely enjoy spending time together as they saunter down the city's old brick streets. If you don't feel like walking, you can arrange for romantic carriage rides instead. If you and your significant other want to play a round of golf, you may want to consider playing at the Royal St. Augustine Golf & Country Club, a beautiful par-71 public course.
