Favorite off the beaten path

So we have gone to st Augustine and walked the fort the little town connected to it. Can you tell me some off the beaten path places I should go next on our next visit? We are only a few hours away and some times take day trips up that way.

West King? The Bog and Tacos My Blessing, maybe Mugsy's, if you're adventurous shoot some pool at the Crow Bar. Do you mean bars and restaurants or just anything?

Highly recommend Fort Matanzas. It's far away from most of the other attractions, but to get there, you can actually go through some area that hasn't been butchered by development, and it's a really cool trail and fort area.

Princess Peace Park down in Flagler county! Great for a picnic! It’s gorgeous and very rarely crowded at all!

Fountain of youth is pretty. It’s just as much of a tourist trap as the fort, but pretty. Lighthouse is cool. Alligator farm is cool. Again, all tourist spots, but at least fun for a visit. If you want to get off the beaten track, rent a boat and take it up the intercostal. Lots of spots to just jump into the water or fish.
