Guided Voyager updates destination guidance regularly, but hours, weather, access, and reservations should be checked close to departure.

Before you go

Use the live details that matter

  • Start the fort, lighthouse, and beach earlier than your instincts suggest. Heat and pedestrian congestion make the middle of the day feel longer here.
  • Do not confuse St. George Street with the entire city. Lincolnville, the bayfront, Anastasia Island, and the quieter side streets carry a different, less stage-managed version of St. Augustine.

Confirm current access, hours, reservations, and conditions with Official Castillo de San Marcos National Monument information.
