St. Augustine Blew Our Minds!

Exploring St. Augustine | The Oldest City in Florida!
We spent a day wandering around the historic streets, riding bikes, visiting Castillo de San Marcos and the St. Augustine Lighthouse, and eating good food. There's just so much history and charm to St. Augustine, the oldest continuously occupied city in Florida, and very much enjoyed our time here!

This is the best video of St Augustine I have watched and I’ve seen ALOT! Great job! Can’t wait to visit. ❤

[@TheDetourDuo]

Thank you so much! You have no idea how much that means to us!!

[@aprilking1912]

My daughter and I visited St. Augustine for the first first time a few weeks ago. We visited several of the places you highlighted in your video. We highly recommend the Lightner Museum and also recommend Ponce de Leon’s Fountain of Youth, The Cathedral, and a boat tour. We will definitely be retuning to St. Augustine in the future!

[@TheFabJerLife]

Very cool. It reminds me of the older cities in the Caribbean that were once under Spanish colonial rule, i.e. San Juan or Santo Domingo.

[@TheDetourDuo]

I said the same thing actually!

[@alejandrocotilla2899]

This video is so well done. Very fun to watch!!

[@TheDetourDuo]

Thank you! It was fun to make.

[@TheDetourDuo]

Did you know St. Augustine has the narrowest street in the US? What about the light house, did you know it's rumored to be haunted? 🔔 If you enjoyed this video, LIKE, SUBSCRIBE & help our channel grow🔔: kzbin.info

Love St. Augustine especially around Christmas

[@TheDetourDuo]

I bet it's so gorgeous around Christmas!

[@ptownset]

Why around Christmas?

[@brianhoffman7068]

Really great videos guys!! Enjoyed it very much.

[@TheDetourDuo]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ALittleBitUnhitched]

This was incredibly helpful, thanks you two! This was our first time stumbling across your channel and we must say, you guys do a fabulous job! Keep it up, we will be back!

[@TheDetourDuo]

Thank you so much!!

[@juliabuntain4496]

Love yalls uploads! keep up the good work

[@TheDetourDuo]

Thank you! More to come

[@JacksonvilleFloridaCommunities]

We are glad you enjoyed our town! Our family moved here from Fort Lauderdale in 2014 to raise our family and we absolutely love it.

[@TheDetourDuo]

That is awesome! It's such a great town. We keep hearing it's even more amazing during Christmas time

[@JacksonvilleFloridaCommunities]

@@TheDetourDuo, the night of lights is great! You should also consider seeing the city from the water on a cruise during the holidays. It's a lot of fun.

[@alexiblackXo]

Gosh I love y’all’s videos. I get so excited every time you upload! I love watching people try the food that makes a city unique. I love the longer format video also! Keep up the good work! You two are adorable! ❤❤ much love from Fort Lauderdale!!

[@TheDetourDuo]

Thanks Lexi! We were actually just in Fort Lauderdale. We didn't shoot a video though but we're probably planning a trip down to Miami and Palm Beach sometime in the near future

[@VillageFoodTours]

One of my favorite areas to visit!

[@TheDetourDuo]

It's such a laid back vibe. Almost tropical

[@brittanyrowland6534]

This is where I live! Been here my whole life! Glad you enjoyed your stay 😁 you're still my fave recently discovered yt channel!

[@brittanyrowland6534]

Loved the clip from The Office at the end! 😆

[@TheDetourDuo]

haha only fitting!

[@GDMan-fb1jx]

Thank you for sharing 🙏

[@TheDetourDuo]

Thanks for watching!

[@365sol.travel]

Thanks for the great video. Lisa and I are heading there to see the Christmas lights this year.

[@TheDetourDuo]

Have a wonderful time! We haven't been for the Christmas lights year, but keep hearing it's gorgeous there this time of year

[@TheRAYviewYT]

My very favorite town!

[@TheDetourDuo]

It's so lovely and peaceful!

[@teairraweiss4195]

My husband and I just got back from St. Augustine! It’s our favorite beach spot. Next time you guys go, you should definitely check out Sunset Grille. The food is really good! Great video!

[@TheDetourDuo]

Thanks for the rec!

[@thetreverpitts]

Pizza Time is always my go to for great pizza in st augustine

[@TheDetourDuo]

Is that the one by the college? We thought about going there, but we'd both had a ton of pizza just the other day.

[@StokedonStAugustine]

Epic video!!

[@TheDetourDuo]

Thank you!

[@Balorfan85]

Great video! My wife and I go to St Augustine as much as we can, and Mango Mango is one of our favorite spots! We can't wait to try the blue hen now! Next time you guys go down, you have to try pizza time and the world famous burrito shop. The alligator farm is the only place in the world as far as I know where you can see every species of crocodilian known to man as well. Will definitely subscribe to you guys!

[@TheDetourDuo]

Thank you! We'll have to check those recommendations next time. We actually went to a concert right near the alligator farm

[@Balorfan85]

The Alligator farm is amazing!

[@lovey1973]

Great way to check 7' is with a tape measure! When you come to Canada, I'll give you two or three. I have sooooo many. Lol!

[@TheDetourDuo]

Lol

[@NickGoesFar]

Loved this video - you guys did awesome!

[@TheDetourDuo]

Thank you!!

[@NickGoesFar]

@@TheDetourDuo sure thing! You earned a new subscriber with it! I’m actually headed to St. Augustine this weekend to film an episode of a brand new blog series. Research lead me to y’all’s channel and it rocks!

[@TheDetourDuo]

@connectednickh what's your blog series going to be about?

[@NickGoesFar]

@@TheDetourDuo primarily it’s a travel vlog. St. Augustine is an easy one to start with because I live up in Jacksonville. I’ll be traveling nearly full time this year and doing everything from overnight Amtrak trains to visiting Portugal and Morocco

[@TheDetourDuo]

@@NickGoesFar jealous. We're starting to plan for more international trips. Portugal and Morocco are definitely on our list. Amtrak is a fun one too. We've just done the Northeast regional up the coast and the California zephyr

[@PHYSIXX]

lol I love st Augustine. I live in fl and drive here sometimes.

[@TheDetourDuo]

Nice! We've liked our visits to St Augustine too

[@ducap]

You should definitely visit Greenville, SC! We loved the steamed bagel sandwiches at Sully's, the chillout kava drinks at Kava Konnection, and the Bandeja Paisa at Sacha's Cafe.

[@TheDetourDuo]

Actually sounds really good! We've only been to Charleston and a brief stop in Hilton Head and Myrtle Beach. Could definitely use a trip to Greenville

[@ducap]

@@TheDetourDuo Also, a side trip to Asheville, NC is a day trip possibility from Greenville as well.

[@TheDetourDuo]

We did go to Asheville. Got a video on that one. One of our favs.

[@lulurashid3019]

it’s true I live in Saint Augustine and you could go there around Christmas time because there are lights everywhere and it’s beautiful and there’s a big Christmas tree and also New Year’s Eve there’s also a countdown❤

[@TheDetourDuo]

Would love to see it at Christmas time!

[@richora2007]

Favorite part of the video was "Go to the edge... Hell No" lol that would be me.

[@TheDetourDuo]

Always! I did the crazy part. I don't need to add to it. The funny thing is I'm always the one who volunteers us to do these things things. In my head it's never that bad until I get up there

[@TravelSpreeOfficial]

Tony, high key jealous of your beard, it’s so full!

[@TheDetourDuo]

In need of some just for men to hide the grey 🤣

[@TravelSpreeOfficial]

@@TheDetourDuo Salt and pepper is all the rage!

[@DividendDave73]

No one is actually afraid of heights. Everyone is afraid of falling from them! #Perspective

[@TheDetourDuo]

Interesting perspective

[@Beef5]

I'm actually afraid of the heights. I love the fall from them though.

[@ajyoung4530]

7:00 not a rumor, it’s actually true. I lived there for a great moment in life and got to learn and experience a lot.

[@TheDetourDuo]

It's such an interesting piece of history

[@raquellecornecki]

next time you go you should definitely try little margies next time you go it has great breakfast

[@TheDetourDuo]

Added to the list. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@TravelSpreeOfficial]

Can’t beat a good eggs Benny

[@TheDetourDuo]

Definitely can't go wrong with it.

[@ajyoung4530]

7:39 it used to only be $10 in 2006

[@TheDetourDuo]

🤯

[@mokanlines]

I live in St Johns County. And while I have heard so much about The Ble Hen, I need to go there. While I agree that St Augustine Seafood is "meh" considering the price, you missed some gems. For coconut shrimp, it's OC White's; for fish and chips I recommend Barley Republic. You should have sampled Hyppo (I love the blueberry & goat cheese popsicle) on St George Street. In Cresent Beach near Ft Matanzas, Commander's Shellfish Camp has some of the best NE clam chowder I've had. (they farm their own clams)

[@mokanlines]

I forgot two others: Pizza Time on St George Street (voted #2 in the US by TripWise{and dang good}) and the MUST HAVE in St Augustine; Hazel's Hot Dogs on Ponce de Leon

[@mokanlines]

get the datil dog

[@TheDetourDuo]

Thanks for the recommendations. We have Hyppo here in Tampa. Love the popsicles there

[@mokanlines]

@@TheDetourDuo LOL, no wonder you didn't stop in

[@TheDetourDuo]

They're really good though! We have to stop by the hot dog place for sure

[@kazemi88]

Do people lay out at the beach?

[@TheDetourDuo]

We saw people laying out. By the pier there isn't much space but if you walk down further it opens up. We were just short on time and didn't save enough time to lay out.

[@brandon5317]

Where did y’all stay?

[@TheDetourDuo]

We stayed at an airbnb www.airbnb.com/rooms/24366085?source_impression_id=p3_1702879913_yNX7WR%2BMKvoTDuHX&fbclid=IwAR05qR7sclM8IpECxFsEIPSXKNuNfXu9_9OpJDIl_TBAmYTv5PB-fK5uixU

[@Taylorbantah]

What is the song at 19:57? I like it

[@TheDetourDuo]

The one at 09:57 ? It's called Time Fly By ELEPHANT MOTEL

[@TheCristallo83]

It's not the oldest city in the United States, it is the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in what is now the contiguous United States.

[@aaron___6014]

Bingo

[@real.myriathic]

yapster

[@sb4040]

It is the oldest U.S. city.

[@TheCristallo83]

@@sb4040 Nope. Go look at St Auggie's website and you will see it's written like that. First bc there are older native cities, second there are older cities but weren't continuous inhabitants and third bc San Juan is apart of the United States and is older.

[@Korey1121]

St. Augustine is the oldest CONTINUOUSLY occupied city in Florida. The oldest city in Florida is actually Fernandina Beach. The fort is older. They lost control and moved to St. Augustine and stayed there from then on.

[@TheDetourDuo]

Yup. That's correct. Continuously occupied.

[@sb4040]

What are you talking about? Saint Augustine is the oldest city in the U.S., established 1565. The Fort was built in the late 17th century to thwart pirate and privateer attacks.

[@stevep8445]

Catch 27 if you want seafood

[@TheDetourDuo]

It was a long waiting list when we tried to go there

[@UnbrokenWillll]

Oldest city in the US period (by Europeans) …. Florida was technically the first state in o exist …. But it joined the union much later ….

[@TheDetourDuo]

Good to know!

[@MS-fb1nr]

Go to the edge hell no 😂😂😂😂😂

[@TheDetourDuo]

😂

[@frankstabler1920]

Pensacola Florida was founded 7years before St. Augustine.

[@stevep8445]

Was not continuously occupied though. Was not re-established until 1698

[@frankstabler1920]

It was still founded first.@@stevep8445

[@tyneanderson8830]

St. Augustine is very overpopulated and overpriced. I wouldn’t recommend.

[@TheDetourDuo]
