The Fountain of Youth National Archaeological Park in St. Augustine is the site where Spanish conquistadors first came ashore in what is now the continental United States. On April 3, 1513, in the season of "Pascua Florida" - as Easter Season is known in Spanish (meaning Feast of Flowers) - Ponce de Leon's expedition sighted land in the present vicinity of St. Augustine and named it La Florida.
Nice slideshow! Make sure to visit where St. Augustine, Florida began in 1565 at the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park. Plenty of parking and pet friendly too!
