St. Augustine claims the title of oldest continuously inhabited European-established city in the continental US — founded 1565 — and the historic district backs it up: the Castillo de San Marcos fortress, cobblestone St. George Street, and Spanish colonial architecture that actually predates the country. The beaches on Anastasia Island are wide and drivable in places, and the town manages the rare trick of being both a history trip and a beach trip.
The private stays cluster on the water. North Beach Camp Resort sits on a 30-acre barrier island between the Atlantic and the Tolomato River, north of town — shaded full-hookup sites and cabins, a heated pool, a fishing pier, two on-site restaurants, and walkable beach access where sunrise and sunset both happen over water. Beverly Beach Camptown in Flagler Beach is one of the few RV resorts in the country sitting directly on the ocean, with 1,500 feet of Atlantic beachfront and beachfront RV sites backing onto the sand. The St. Augustine Beach KOA Holiday on Anastasia Island adds deluxe cabins, tent sites, a year-round pool, and a downtown shuttle — the practical pick for the historic district. Caveats: summer brings heat, afternoon storms, and the busiest beaches; spring break and major events (like Nights of Lights in winter) spike demand; and the historic district's parking is genuinely miserable in season, so that downtown shuttle matters.

Questions, answered
March through May and October through November — warm enough for the beach, cooler than summer, thinner crowds. Summer is hot, humid, and busy; winter is mild and brings the Nights of Lights festival, which draws big crowds.
The town's famous winter light display, running roughly late November through January — millions of white lights across the historic district. It's genuinely beautiful and genuinely crowded; book lodging early.
Yes — it's a National Park Service site, open daily with an entrance fee, and the oldest masonry fort in the continental US. Allow a couple of hours, and combine it with the bayfront walk.
Anastasia State Park and St. Augustine Beach have wide, swimmable Atlantic beaches. Summer water is bathtub-warm; winter dips into the 60s. Watch for rip currents and check flag conditions.
For the historic district, no — it's very walkable, and the KOA's downtown shuttle covers the gap. For the beaches, the fort area, and day trips (Flagler Beach, the alligator farm), you'll want one.
