The Fountain of Youth is one of St. Augustine’s most beloved attractions.  With an archeological dig showing the Spanish landed on this site it is also one of the most historical.  Visit this lovely attraction and stroll through the shady waterfront park enjoying the Spanish moss draped oaks, the peacocks and the exhibits telling you of the Timucuan Indians, the Spanish voyages of discovery and Juan Ponce de Leon’s search for the Fountain of Youth.  Here history combines with beauty to enchant the eye and delight the mind.  A park in the Fountain of Youth
