17th‑century coquina fort on the Matanzas River — compelling textures, starboard-facing bastions, historic cannons and waterfront reflections. Best at golden hour and blue hour for warm stone tones and dramatic silhouettes. Accessible walkways and ramparts offer multiple vantage points; check NPS for current entry fees and hours. Street and nearby lot parking; weekdays and early mornings have fewer visitors.
