Anastasia State Park Beach

St. Augustine, FL

Anastasia State Park is an amazing place to visit! Located on Anastasia Island (St. Augustine Beach) this gem of a beach is located inside a beautiful state park. It’s unassuming entrance is almost easy to miss!

AMENITIES

The park is great for just about everything! They offer campsites (tents and RV’s), nature trails, birdwatching, kayaking and stand-up paddle boarding through Anastasia Watersports, and, of course, amazing beaches!

There are two beach access points that begin from one large, parking lot. The park amenities include restrooms, a few pavilions for picnicking, showers and a concession stand with a convenience store included.

OUR STATE PARK BEACHES ARE AMAZING. HERE’S ANOTHER ONE

BEAUTIFUL BEACH

I visited the northern access because it’s so nice and is less crowded (probably due to it not being a guarded beach). There’s a beautiful, but very long, ramp that takes you to the sand dune. Once on the beach, you’ll enjoy the huge beach and nice sand. Like most beaches in northeast Florida the sand is soft closer to the dunes but harder closer to the water. The sand was nice, the water was clean and relaxing in the water was fantastic! Anastasia State Park also seems like a good beach for surfing!

CONVEINIENCE

Once you’re done with the beach you can rinse off by the concession stand and grab some lunch or dessert. If you are camping in the park you can grab some essentials at the store or conveniently, venture into St. Augustine Beach for anything else you’d need.

GREAT BAY FOR KAYAKS & SUPS

As you enter and leave the park you’ll pass a small building that backs up to a great, little bay. The bay is great for kayaking and stand up paddle boarding and you can rent all your gear on-site. The name of the outfitter is Anastasia Water Sports and they look like they run a great operation.

ANOTHER GREAT BEACH NEARBY

Finally, one of the best things about the park is the close proximity to beautiful, historic, St. Augustine. I highly recommend Anastasia State Park for a host of reasons but the primary being that Anastasia State Park makes a great lazy location!
