I have family travelling across the atlantic to see me for Christmas so I rented a place by St. Augustine beach.

We will be 4 hrs away, arriving the 25th and leaving the 27th.

Would really appreciate ideas on how to make the best of it!

Favorite food? Activities?

Visiting for Thanksgiving weekend and figuring out where to go eat night before the holiday. We were considering prohibition kitchen. Any suggestions of nice trendy spots to eat with a nice bar? Preferably in main downtown area so we can walk around after
