St. Johns County
Just a short drive from the football frenzy of the Gator Bowl, St. Augustine and Ponte Vedra & the Beaches offer fans an inspiring world of golf, history, nature, beautiful beaches…and shopping! Combined with world-class accommodations and dining, the Gator Bowl’s next door neighbor provides all the ingredients for a memorable and fun visit.
St. Augustine, the Nation’s oldest city, still echoes to the days when it was an important outpost of the Spanish Empire while the splendor of the Victorian Age is preserved in the soaring architecture of Henry Flagler’s hotels. Brick-paved streets and horse-drawn carriages provide a memorable setting for exquisite dining, exploring art galleries and antique shopping.
Ponte Vedra’s elegant seaside resorts offer golf fans a perfect place to indulge their passion – including the TPC at Sawgrass, home of THE PLAYERS Championship. Nearby, the World Golf Hall of Fame enshrines the game’s greatest players in a setting that features two championship courses.
Attractions abound in this special place – 42 miles of pristine Atlantic beaches, the Castillo de San Marcos, the St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park, two Outlet Malls, the St. Augustine Lighthouse and more than 60 others are here for Gator Bowl fans to enjoy. For information, call (800)653-2489 or visit www.Getaway4Florida.com.
Mission Statement: The Gator Bowl Association’s mission is to provide Northeast Florida with the very best in college athletics and related activities in order to maximize positive impact on the area’s economy, national image and community pride.
