Salt Water Cowboys is one of our family favorites! There's few other places to get the best sunset view of the intercoastal waterway while you wait on a table. You may get to visit one of the many cats that hang around, or even get a glimpse of a racoon looking for a local snack. Try the clam chowder as an appetizer & ask to sit outside on the deck!

O.C. White’s has a history dating back to 1790, originally constructed by Don Miguel Ysnardy, a prominent St. Augustinian. The building is associated with significant aspects of the history of St. Augustine, the nation’s oldest city. The House served as one of the first hotels in St. Augustine. This is one of Galen's favorite spots for the history & the location across the street from the marina where you'll see a two-masted schooner & scores of other sail boats. O.C.'s has an amazing menu, but the joy of sitting outside under an ivy canopy while being serenaded by a local musician acoustically is an experience you won't want to miss!

COFFEE!!
Our favorite coffee stop in St Augustine, Kookaburra adds an Australian twist with innovative flavors & roasts their own beans locally. Their largest location is within walking distance of Ocean Gallery, with an equally charming spot near the Pier at St Augustine Beach.
"The original Kookaburra opened its doors in 2012 at Cathedral Place in downtown St. Augustine. The concept was born out of family and community experiences and a desire to meld the best coffee and baked goods imaginable with world class service. The 420 square foot shop quickly became a community hub, and allowed the expansion into our larger US 1 and SR 312 shop in 2014. The efforts of our incredible staff and the support of our loyal customers made possible the opening of our third location at St. Augustine Beach, followed by The Kookaburra Roastery and our largest location south near Dondanville Road and A1A. In late 2020 we moved our roasting facility and opened a fifth location on SR 207. "
