The lantern-light of St. George Street throws long shadows across coquina walls as a pirate-costumed guide ushers your group from one low-lit bar to the next. Salt air from the Matanzas River tugs at your sleeves and the Castillo de San Marcos sits like an unblinking witness — its gunports and limestone casting an uneasy silhouette against the night.
