Owned by an eccentric slave trader, Zephaniah Kingsley, the plantation produced crops of cotton, sugar cane, sweet potatoes and citrus fruits.

A favorite spot for day trips, St. Augustine is full of history and beautiful beaches. Here you will find historic sites like the 300-year-old Castillo de San Marcos, a Spanish fort from the 1600s with 16-foot thick walls, and fun attractions like the Old Town Trolley Tour and the Lightner Museum. On St. George Street, a pedestrian shopping zone, you'll find art galleries, one-of-a-kind street musicians and artists. If you want to sunbathe, go to Vilano Beach, and if you're in the mood for bird-watching, hiking, swimming, and other outdoor activities, then Anastasia State Park is the place to go. 30 minutes south of Jacksonville. Hip MealsLocated in a trendy neighborhood, Biscotti's offers eclectic specialties for breakfast, lunch and dinner. With an ambiance reminiscent of New York's East Village, this midsize restaurant serves beautifully presented cuisine from pastries to curry grilled swordfish, creative salads, pizzas with exotic toppings like guacamole and black beans, and a wonderful array of mouthwatering desserts. On 3556 St. Johns Ave. (904) 387-2060 Here's The CatchA rustic fish camp that has been delighting customers since 1969, Singleton's Seafood Shack is classic Old Florida. This big, weathered place is built out of unpainted, well-weathered plywood and its fresh-off-the-boat dishes are served on disposable plates at wide plank tables. You'll be tempted to overindulge on conch fritters, shrimp, clam strips, oysters, squid, blackened mahimahi and Cajun shrimp, but save room for their delicious peanut butter pie.
