St. Augustine, Florida is known for many things: great weather (outside of hurricane season, of course), welcoming locals, and a rich history being the ‘oldest city in America’. One of the biggest draws perhaps, are our incredibly beautiful beaches. With approximately 42 miles of gorgeous coastline hugging the Atlantic Ocean, it only makes sense that we have a variety of stunning sandy jaunts in St. Augustine. While Calissa Cay Harbour Residences is tucked along the San Sebastian River with quick-access to the Atlantic Ocean, we’re going to focus the spotlight on St. Augustine’s beautiful beaches in this local’s guide to the best beaches in town.
We’ll start with probably the most prolific and popular of the bunch, centrally located, St. Augustine Beach. Features like a beachfront park, pavilion, splash park, volleyball court, and a fishing pier make St. Augustine Beach a hit with families and tourists looking to get the best of the city in one go. Located about 5 miles from historic downtown St. Augustine, Florida, this popular beach is an obvious fan favorite.
A surfer’s delight, Vilano Beach is a hot spot for seasoned bros looking to “shred the gnar” against a stellar backdrop. Better yet, this pet-friendly beach is close to downtown St. Augustine, making it a great pit stop during a day out on the town.
Crescent Beach is named for its – you guessed it – crescent shape, providing awesome panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and stunning sunsets to boot. This beach features hard-packed sand, making it an ideal choice for frisbee, volleyball, and bike riding.
Butler Beach has a rich history and a beautiful sandy white beachline. Enjoy a serene day in St. Augustine, sunbathing or swimming in this ecological wonder located right in Calissa Cay’s backyard. Accessible via Frank B. Butler County Park, Butler Beach is pet-friendly to pups when leashed!
Tucked along the Atlantic Coast in an affluent suburb in St. John’s County, Ponte Vedra Beach is great for those looking for a more opulent beach day. Featuring pristine sandy white beaches and superb golf courses, Ponte Vedra Beach is a St. Augustine local’s favorite.
Located within 1,600 acres of unspoiled white sand beaches, coastal hammocks, and tidal marshes, St. Augustine’s Anastasia State Park Beach features 4 miles of natural beachline, with campgrounds within walking distance.
