Florida's coastal cities were recognized for their rich history and tourist attractions. According to Conde Nast Traveler, St. Augustine's "treasure trove of historical features" was a main reason for its high ranking.

The city's family-friendly atmosphere was also praised, with the magazine noting that it "brings out a second wind in everyone."
