City of St. Augustine Beach

This beach was very clean, not too crowded and lots of fun. There are some parts where you can drive onto the beach. People were doing many different activities from reading and meditating to wind surfing and driving remote buggies in the sand dunes. It was a good day.

If you are lucky enough to be on the beach, you are lucky enough. We were even luckier that our Bed and Breakfast was on the beach. We walked about 5 steps, and the beach was right there.
It was wide open, dog friendly, and as wonderful as a beach could be. Now, I do have a fear of the Atlantic Ocean. It is much more rougher than the other coast, the Gulf, but it is nice to see waves and hear them. I loved how convenient this beach was for us. It is definitely a beautiful one.
The city itself has some restaurants and a beach bar close to the beach. We didn’t frequent them, but there was definitely a good share of them.

Lots to see and do in St Augustine Beach
Of course you have the fishing pier and miles of beach (we are a dog friendly county just keep them on a lead).
For the little ones there is Splash Park right next to the pier. Yep and a couple of restrooms along with some showers to wash the sand off.

We have some excellent restaurants and hotels here come on down and enjoy our city!

Beautiful i can’t wait to get back over their, this was just a beautiful place to stay all day.

This is one of the most beautiful beaches on the East Coast. Although it is been damaged by storms recently and has needed to be replenished by dredging, it’s still an amazing beach with great water to swim in.
This beach is great for both surfers and fisherman and as well as families to enjoy the lovely Florida water. It’s very easy to park and walk to the beach, or stand on the many hotels or other accommodations nearby. There are always many restaurants and bars reachable from the beach as well, however you should probably scout these out ahead of time as they are not easily seen from the water. Exit from the beach are also difficult to come by and all the private residences are locked off from the public.
The beach is accessible from many locations, however.
One thing that truly makes his speech special and fun is the ability to drive your car onto the beach. Cars cost around $ 10 and you can go pretty far down the beach, however a 4×4 is required in some sections so plan ahead. It is not necessary to have a four-​wheel-​drive vehicle if you are open to going to any old spot on the beach I don’t have a specific location in mind.

Saint Augustine is historic and beautiful. Very clean and fun place.

I’m torn because I want to tell the world how fantastic this place is. On the other hand, I don’t want to reveal it to the world and it becomes overcrowded! This is our 5^th time to the island, and we love it here. It’s never crowded, no matter what time of year. It’s a family beach, so everyone feels comfortable. The locals are fantastic folks! We always seem to stumble upon local events, and make a habit of speaking to the locals. The only bad experiences are the visitors that are too uptight to realize the beauty of their surroundings! The beaches are clean, and we’ll maintained. Not a lot of commercialism on the island, which we LOVE! Plus, there is always something to do. Farmer markets, flea markets, outdoor concerts/​movies, African drum circles, etc! Excellent food, beaches, and people. Bottom line, we come on vacation to remove ourselves from the daily grind. If you want a place that will simply take you to another place, St Augustine Beach is the place for you. This is our 5^th (or 6^th) year vacationing here, and we have been all over the US. While we will visit other great places, St Augustine Beach will continue to be our yearly tradition! At lease until we buy a place of our own! Keep up the good work guys!

This was my first visit to St. Augustine and I have to say that I love this area. The beaches are clean, the water is clear and the people are friendly. It’s really laid back here, not overly crowded and the sunrise here is incredible!

Loved everything about it…

Beautiful beaches here on clean white sand… just lovely, laid back, no frills, just beach… not crowded, just right.

Prettiest beach I ever seen in Florida, after Perdido Keys of course! The water is clean, beach is litter free, crystal white sands and the best part is that it’s not overcrowded with teens or college kids! Very peaceful and quiet and you don’t find yourself walking into second hand smoke, like in its nearby counterpoint, Pensacola! Win win! St. Augustine is about 5 hours away from Atlanta and such a nice getaway that’s so close but far enough to feel relaxed! St Augustine is the oldest city in the US so it’s definitely nice to be apart of a city that’s filled with so much history!

I can not say enough about this beach! Clean, not a lot of high rises, and not over crowded. Been on the gulf side for over 5 years and now we are planning on relocating to the area. A true gem and hope it stays that way. Definitely a change from lower beaches like palm beach and Daytona which are packed, dirty, and commercialized.

I really enjoyed this beach! The place was nice and very clean although I did find a few cigarette butts around. I went during the middle of May and there was a lot of space with no crowds of people. I feel like this is a great beach to have fun and relax at without all the stress of clutter and strangers around. There is even a cute playground/​kids area! I also found a lot of nice shells without too much effort!

I think my heart belongs to this city and it’s beautiful beaches. The people are so friendly and I am just happy when I am there. No matter how many times I have visited I just can’t get enough. I am always ready to come back.

One of the loveliest beaches in Florida! We loved it! It was clean and the people were great!
I have been travelling with my dog this year from the Canadian east coast to the Florida Keys to Western Florida and back to Buffalo. We have visited many many dog parks and beaches along the way.
Thanks for keeping it dog friendly!

St Augustine Beach is very very nice.
Now I prefer the gulf for beaches. But St. Augustine beach has a nice laid back feeling. Much better than Daytona IMO.

Although we drove through a storm to get to the beach!!! it was wonderful! It was still hot, but very very overcast. But hey it just finished raining! We sat on the beach took pictures, had some margaritas and Coronas.
I love Florida even its crazy weather! We were determined to get to The Beach, (in my Mr. Bean voice) lol Shoot this girl even got a tan although it was cloudy!

This is one of the best beaches in Florida.
I love how wide this beach is. It’s so wide that you’re even allowed to drive on the beach, which makes parking and unloading a breeze.
The Beachcomber restaurant is a great place to grab a bite, and it’s the only restaurant that is truly «on» the beach (although it is somewhat obstructed by dunes).
It gets too cold for me to get in the water in the winter, but snowbirds can be seen swimming here in January!

Can I just say I love St. Augustine Beach! The sand might not be as nice as Destin’s sugary white sand and emerald green waters, the waves might not be as high as they are on Singer Island in WPB, and you might not be able to see the bottom as you can in the Bahamas islands; but it is a very nice beach overall that one can go to during the summer and find a nice secluded spot to relax, swim, or fish.
Not only is St. Augustine a nice beach but the town of St. Augustine also has a lot to offer in the way or restaurants, bars, and cute little shops. The beach is also conveniently located to the historic district of St. Augustine where one can take a short drive to go visit some of the historic sites of America’s First City.

Just an absolutely perfect beach. The sand here is a lot more powerdery than the beaches by Fort Lauderdale which seem to be grittier. If you get off the beaten track, there are plenty of open and free parking areas. I wandered down to Mary Street where I spotted a «Beach Access» sign and there was a ton of space there for the car and barely a handful of people out on the beach.
