St. Augustine, FL. Right across from the Subway. Seriously, there's a sign and everything.

The fountain of youth was located in Florida until a hurricane blew it out into the Atlantic and down slope into the Bermuda trench. It's not exactly a weekend activity to reach it--if you can make it through the triangle at all..

According to a popular legend Ponce de León discovered Florida while searching for the Fountain of Youth. Though stories of vitality-restoring waters were known on both sides of the Atlantic long before Ponce de León, the story of him searching for them was not attached to him until after his death. In his Historia General y Natural de las Indias of 1535, Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo wrote that Ponce de León was looking for the waters of Bimini to cure his sexual impotence.[3] A similar account appears in Francisco López de Gómara's Historia General de las Indias of 1551.[4] Then in 1575, Hernando de Escalante Fontaneda, a shipwreck survivor who had lived with the Indians of Florida for 17 years, published his memoir in which he locates the waters in Florida, and says that Ponce de León was supposed to have looked for them there.[5] Though Fontaneda doubted that de León had really gone to Florida looking for the waters, the account was included in the Historia general de los hechos de los Castellanos of Antonio de Herrera y Tordesillas of 1615.

st. augustine fl. i was there on a school trip last week. we were at some archeological park with the 'fountain'. more like a hole with water dripping it out. now it's filtered too!! the water was still kinda gross, maybe because i don't like tap water. we learned all the ponce de leon and that indian chief dude who was like 7 ft tall (i cant remember his name). anyway, hope to have helped.

Granny says we will all be young again when we get to Heaven.That is where you will find eternal youth.
Meanwhile,if you stay young at heart,you will always be young on the inside.
I plan to stay young at heart until the day I cross over..Hope to see you there.I'll be the one who has a wide rimmed hat on,covered with lots of spring flowers,and dancing in a green meadow,surrounded by a beautiful lake..Blessings!

It's a long-standing myth, and has never been found.
