St. George Street follows a historically old pathway that was once used by the Timucuan Indians before the first European colonists arrived. Over the last 400 years it was used by the Spanish, British and Americans as the main thoroughfare in which commerce commenced in the New World. Today, it is a pedestrian-only street that begins at the Castillo de San Marcos and meanders past Maria Sanchez Lake until it ends at South Street. Along the way, there are many sights, restaurants and the place where guests will find all of the city's kitschy, sometimes tacky souvenir shops.
Resting in the parking lot of the Howard Johnson hotel, The Old Senator Tree is a 600- year old oak tree that is one of Florida's oldest trees. Catch a glimpse of this divine tree with a large and magnificent canopy.
