A South-to-North Cruise of the ICW from Titusville to St. Augustine, Florida - Collaboration with Coastal Living Magazine
This sunny segment of the Atlantic ICW is an all-Florida cruise that begins on the Space Coast - home to Cape Canaveral- and makes its way north to the beautiful and historic city of St. Augustine, the oldest continuously occupied city in the country. Along the way discover the laid-back surf town of New Smyrna Beach, hit the road for a break at Daytona, and enjoy the old-style fun of Flagler Beach.
