Magoody Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 We will be staying 2 nights in a hotel after we get off our cruise and will need to get a couple rooms booked asap, at a reasonable price, for our group of 8. The rooms do not necessarily have to be the cheapest because as the saying goes, "You get what you pay for!") We have to go to something in Jacksonville after our second night, but someone suggested we might want to try and stay in St. Augustine and tour nearby instead of Jacksonville. We are open to staying anywhere between Port Canaveral and Jacksonville, if someone has other suggestions. Any information would be greatly appreciate, thank you.

AshleyDillo Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 Kennedy Space Center is worth a visit, especially if you have an entire day. You could stay in Titusville after or do the drive to the St. Augustine area that night and explore St. Augustine the next day. If you venture a little off the I-95 corridor over to Deland/Deltona/DeBary you could visit Blue Springs State Park. If your visit is during November through March, it is prime manatee season there. There are a lot of affordable hotels in that area because you are outside the touristy Daytona Beach and Orlando areas. It really depends on how you are getting around and what your group is interested in seeing or doing. Neesa and Magoody 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 Daytona or St Augustine would provide plenty of options for things to do. Jacksonville has a lot as well, but St Augustine is very unique. Neesa and Magoody 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_resh_uh Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 +1 for St. Augustine. Such a cool town with tons to do in the area. Depending on the time year, awesome beaches to enjoy, great history and lots of amazing food. Neesa, WAAAYTOOO and Magoody 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BnB93 Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 Another vote for St Augustine (very cool town with lots to see and do) and Kennedy Space Center (just an amazing experience). Magoody and WAAAYTOOO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 Definitely St Augustine. It’s such a fun city with excellent restaurants. Not sure if it’ll be available but we’ve stayed here and walked to downtown. We live about 30 minutes from st Aug and go play there often. It won’t let me post the link but here’s the place WAAAYTOOO and Magoody 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loki007 Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 depends what you are looking for. My son lives in Daytona, decent beaches and restaurants. Hotel options would be Daytona Autograph (across from speedway) and Hard Rock Daytona on the beach. if you're in to Nascar there is a lot to see. St Augustine is fun for a day, can't recommend a hotel there but nice place to walk around for a day. Orlando really isn't that far out of the way if you wanted more to do.

We used to live nearby and here were my favorites places to take visitors when they came to Fla: 1. Castillo de San Marcos National Monument 2. Anastasia State Park - my favorite beach on the east cost of Fla 3. Old Town - lots to see there Restaurants: 1. O'Steen's restaurant (a local favorite since 1965) 2. Columbia restaurant in the historic district. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
