We love coming across lists that survey places all across the country and feature towns, beaches, restaurants, or cities from Florida. Take Grayton Beach, for instance, which was just named one of the best beaches in the entire country! For this particular list, historic small towns were featured and voted on by readers like you. According to USA Today, St. Augustine, Florida was voted as the #8 Best Historic Small Town, and we certainly agree that it’s among the best small towns in the U.S.
