St. Augustine’s Nights of Lights is magical every night, but Regatta of Lights night might be one of my favorites. And if you’re looking for a great place to stay for the Christmas boat parade, Marker 8 Hotel & Marina is one to check. Located right on the water at the foot of the Bridge of Lions, Marker 8 gives you an incredible location for experiencing the Regatta of Lights. Depending on your room, you may be able to sit out on your patio and watch the decorated boats pass by, or walk right up onto the Bridge of Lions for beautiful views of the parade and the glowing St. Augustine bayfront. You’re also just across the bridge from Historic Downtown St. Augustine, making it easy to walk over and experience the millions of white lights, restaurants, shops and all the Christmas magic without having to deal with downtown parking. I’m still seeing rooms available at Marker 8 for Regatta night, but I wouldn’t wait too long if this event is on your Christmas bucket list. And check the green location pin before you book! For a limited time, first-time eligible TikTok hotel bookings can receive 50% cashback up to $200. Compare your dates and rates to see what offer is available for your stay.
