Downtown St Augustine Scavenger Hunt

St Augustine has long been our favorite city for exploring on foot. It’s colorful, historic, and so fascinating. You never know what you’ll find! Every time we head downtown we find another historic plaque or shop. It’s an ongoing scavenger hunt in St Augustine every day. After spending many hours walking around downtown and along the Sea Wall, we’ve discovered some interesting sights and objects.

Please enjoy our St Augustine scavenger hunt as you wander through downtown’s historic center, and be sure to share with others so they too can explore with new eyes. If you can’t find something on the scavenger hunt list, come back and leave a comment or send us a note so we can help you solve it!

This St Augustine scavenger hunt takes you through the historic downtown area. Look for art, history plaques, cool sites and unique items all trough the old town of beautiful St Augustine, FL.

How to do the St Augustine Scavenger Hunt

To start the Saint Augustine scavenger hunt, you’ll want to either print or download the checklist below. It’s easy to share between a group or give one to each person and have them break up to find all of the items on the list. Teams are fun too, especially if you have small kids you’re doing the scavenger hunt with.

Don’t be discouraged if you can’t find something on the scavenger hunt list. Here’s what’s tricky about it: several items on the list of things to find can mean multiple things, so be imaginative about what you’re looking for as you walk through downtown.

And here’s a scavenger hunt hint: Spanish Bayonets are NOT antique weaponry, but are still something you’ll find downtown that’s related to when the city needed to defend itself from the British…

Printed St Augustine Scavenger Hunt

If you’re printing the scavenger hunt, we recommend printing two per sheet. You can fit two if you are printing on regular 8.5″x11″ paper and then you can cut it in half. One will fit if you need to print it larger, but there’s no need to waste paper if more than one person wants their own.

To make doing the St Augustine scavenger hunt easier as you walk around town, print it on heavy paper or card stock. Don’t worry if you don’t have that though, just carry it in a small note pad to support it when you mark off items.’
