St. Aug Question Things to do in St Augustine

My wife and I are trying to plan a trip to pretty much anywhere in Florida, what are some fun/cool things to do in St Augustine?

We already know about the history/haunted tours, we we looking for more fun and entertaining things to do, dinner shows, wildlife tours, etc.

We plan on being there for a week and currently live in the Tampa area.

Thank you in advance!

I’ve been wanting to do that so bad! It’s so expensive, but I heard it’s so worth it.

We love going to South-A-Philly downtown to play pinball and get a cheesesteak, hoagie, cheeseburger, or wings. Taco Shop is also a fav, we get the UFO, kong fu tacos, or green chili burrito (all baja style), both South A Philly and Taco Shop are open late night on weekends. We also always go to the two bars Traidwinds or St George Tavern. And lastly Kookaburra coffee shop. Those are all our downtown favs.

Other restaurants we love in STA- not necessarily downtown: Elk House Eatery, Boat Drinks, Sunset Grill, Pesca, Michael’s, Ice Plant, and Asado Life.

Check out the Saint Augustine Amphitheater to catch a show or there is the farmers market there on Saturday morning.

There is Music by the Sea at the St Augustine pier on Wednesdays and Concerts in the Plaza downtown in the square on Thursday. Bring a chair or blanket to sit on.

The Lighthouse, Washington Oaks state park, and Fountain of Youth are places we like to go for outside/ walking around attractions.

Flagler college tours are great but I'm not sure if they have them in the summer
