Early morning drug arrests at St Augustine Beach




Education Coordinator Amelia Vela reported to Historic City News that August 25, 2016 marks the 100-year anniversary of the National Park Service. Castillo de San Marcos wants to celebrate the Centennial by searching out the best artwork for the front of the park’s 2017 Annual Park Pass.

Each year, Historic City News reports on a gold rush, of sorts, sponsored by the St. Johns County Tourist Development Council. This year, 34 prospectors laid their claims to $847,666 in bed tax money to publicize and promote their programs to potential out-of-town visitors.
