Fort Matanzas



We did a short trip to Fort Matanzas near St Augustine. It’s not really a fort, but more like a watchtower. It was built originally in the 1500's to protect St Augustine though the existing fort was built in 1740. The coolest part is that you get there by riding a boat. Every hour the national park takes a small group of people across the water to see the fort. The rangers are available to answer questions while we wander around.





By the way, this makes the 110th national park that we've seen (out of 436 parks, monuments, seashores, etc.).
