Top Florida Beaches near St. Augustine

The beaches in St. Augustine are some of the nicest in Florida. We have several different beach areas, Vilano Beach (North end of St. Augustine – Coquina Sand), Anastasia State Park, St. Augustine Beach, and our very own Crescent Beach (South end of St. Augustine, known for its soft white sand).

Here are a few things you can expect from each of these locations:

  • Crescent Beach: The soft white sand of Crescent beach is a favorite of both locals and repeat visitors. This area of our beaches is a bit more residential and offers a peaceful and serene experience. The drive from our Crescent Beach area to the downtown historic St. Augustine is only ten miles and usually takes no more than 15 minutes.
  • St. Augustine Beach: For visitors who are interested in a livelier atmosphere, take a trip to St. Augustine Beach. Located on Anastasia Island, the whole family will find something here to enjoy. The beach is home to the St. Johns County Pier, a playground, shops, restaurants, and so much more.
  • Vilano Beach: Situated just north of St. Augustine’s downtown historic district, Vilano Beach is one of the town’s best-kept secrets. With a steep drop-off and strong current, this beach is an ideal place for water activities such as surfing, skim boarding and more. In addition to the beach, the Vilano Beach Pier is home to a number of shops and restaurants and is also the site for a variety of special events.
  • Anastasia State Park: With more than 1,600 acres of beaches, tidal ponds, ancient sand dunes and more, Anastasia State Park is one of the more interesting destinations for visitors to explore. Take in views of the wildlife along the white sandy beaches or from the nature trails. Believe it or not, this oasis is conveniently located only minutes from downtown St. Augustine.
