Home to the 1896 sighting of the “St. Augustine Monster,” St. Augustine’s beaches still invite wildlife observations and are located on a barrier island bordered by the Matanzas River and the Atlantic Ocean. This stretch of Anastasia Island’s coast offers vehicular beach access and a multitude of sand and surf activities. Lifeguards are seasonal. Over 70% of sea turtle nesting occurs on Florida’s beaches, and such seasonal occurrences may affect access/use to areas. For more information about St. Johns County beach policies, please call 904-209-0322. Fishing regulations/licenses may apply.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
