Under the “Love Trees”
The “love trees” are intertwined, interspecies trees that locals believe can grant long-lasting love to couples. The love trees are located on 6 Cordova Street and showcase a palm tree growing up through a live oak tree. Since this is a rare occurrence, locals believe that any couple that kisses under this remarkable location will have a lifelong romance. If a kiss brings that kind of magic, what would a proposal bring?

Carriage Ride Around Town
The Old Town Trolley Tours offers locals and tourists the option to tour Historic St. Augustine in a horse-drawn carriage.
