THE BUCCANEER TRAIL: Beginning on Hwy. A1A on Amelia Island, the 52-mile scenic route is one of the most beautiful drives in Florida. The Trail takes you past beautiful beaches, including Little Talbot Island State Park, and over several inlets and rivers that flow into the Atlantic Ocean. If you enjoy fishing, be sure to take along your tackle and pole. From Amelia Island to the Trails end in St. Augustine, historical sites such as Kingsley Plantation and the Castillo de San Marcos are just a turn away. KINGSLEY PLANTATION- Florida's oldest-standing plantation where, during the early 1800s, Zephaniah Kingsley's slaves produced sugarcane and Sea Island cotton. Kingsley conducted many agricultural experiments, and did much to further the cultivation of citrus fruits in Florida. A true non-conformist and classical scholar, Kingsley was married to Anna Madgigine Jai, a black woman who reportedly presided over the Fort George Island household. The original house and ruins of the slave quarters still stands.

ST. AUGUSTINE: The Buccaneer Trail ends in St. Augustine, where 300-year-old stone forts and opulent turn-of-the-century hotels provide visitors with plenty to explore even before they reach the beach. But just across the historic Bridge of Lions from St. Augustine lie the beaches of Anastasia Island, where sabal palms and sea oats grow wild on 15-foot-high dunes. On the way to the surf, take a slight sidestep to the distinctive candy-striped St. Augustine Lighhouse and Museum. Purported to be the site of Florida's first lighthouse, the view from the top is worth the climb. In PONTE VEDRA BEACH, active vacationers can enjoy world-famous fairways and championship tennis courts. The prestigious home of the PGA Tour headquarters, Ponte Vedra Beach offers visitors the opportunity to play the same courses that challenge professional golfers. The area also features premier tennis facilities, such as the ATP Tour International Headquarters, where many of the world's greatest players train.
