After our visit to Kingsley Plantation we got the ferry back over the St Johns River and drove down the coast to St Augustine - reportedly the oldest permanent settlement in the USA, founded by the Spanish in 1565. We booked into our hotel for 2 nights to give us a full day in the town and felt that was a perfect amount of time to spend pootling around looking at the old buildings. It's all quite compact and easily accessible. There is also plenty of information available telling you about the history of the town and it's buildings.
The town also had a lovely marina where we sat and relaxed after our exploration of the town. It was very hot the day we visited so we were glad of some shady spots.
Change of pace coming up as we head down the coast to Daytona Beach.
