Timeline
17:02
Start with a free tour of the St. Augustine Distillery. This working distillery in a century-old ice plant crafts small-batch spirits, including Florida's first bourbon. Arriving early ensures you get a good spot on the tour before the evening crowds arrive.
17:32
Walk 30 minutes northeast to Oglethorpe Battery Park. From this site, General James Oglethorpe once bombarded Castillo de San Marcos. Position yourself facing west to catch the final minutes of daylight.
17:47
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the west-southwest, casting a warm glow over the historic fortifications and the water beyond.
18:17
Head to Pizza Time for dinner. Ranked among the best pizza places in the country, this parlor owned by Brooklyn transplants serves slices that rival those in New York. It is open until 21:00, making it a perfect late dinner spot.
19:02
End the evening at St. George Tavern. This pub serves American but European-influenced cuisine in a historic setting. With an entree costing about $30, it offers a relaxed atmosphere to finish your night. It is open until 22:00.
Local tip
The distillery tours leave every 20-25 minutes, so check the schedule upon arrival to time your start correctly. Pizza Time is popular, so be prepared for a short wait if you arrive exactly at dinner time.
