Halloween in St. Augustine


If you're going to be in Crescent Beach or around St. Augustine for Halloween, you may want to try something different that the standard trick-or-treat. If you don't have small children, or are trying to entertain older kids, this may be just the thing for you.

Being the oldest city in the United States, you can imagine that St. Augustine, Florida has its fair share of spirits. Rather then walk around trying to find them on your own, try one of the following Ghost Tours, and make this Halloween one you'll remember for years to come:

Ancient City Tours presents - A Ghostly Encounter
This is a walking tour, starting at the certified haunted building of the Spanish Military Hospital. October 26 & 27 from 7 to 10 pm. Cost, according to their website is $14 per person. Visit their website for all the details on this St. Augustine Ghost Tour. They also feature a riding tour for those not up to all the walking, called Ghosts and Gravestones on the Trolley of the Doomed.

Ghost Tours of St. Augustine - A Nightmare to Wake Up From
This is another walking tour, which includes Potter's Wax Museum. The company also has two other tours that may interest you - a riding tour called Ghosts & Legends, which includes the Lighthouse in St. Augustine (reported to be haunted and featured on Ghost Hunters), and a boating tour called Ghost of The Matanzas. Be sure to visit their websites for more information about these Ghost Tours of St. Augustine.

Either way, have a Happy Halloween in Crescent Beach!
