What better way to celebrate America's birthday than in the nation's oldest city! Make this 4th fun and historic. See a spectacular fireworks show above the Castillo de San Marcos downtown. Or even better view the celebrations from the top of the Lighthouse, which even on a normal day is THE best view of our beautiful city. Love music, but not sure if you want to wrestle the downtown crowds? Come to the Music by the Sea concert at the St. Augustine Beach pier less than 10 minutes from Beacher's Lodge, admission is completely free. Rooms are filling up quickly for the 4th through the weekend, so make sure to reserve your oceanfront suite today! There is a minimum 2 night stay.
