7 Things You Can't Miss in St. Augustine Beach/Anastasia Island

Today we're showing you 7 things you can't miss in St. Augustine Beach and Anastasia Island. When tourists think of visiting Florida's First Coast, the historic city of St. Augustine is always at the top of the list to see. It would be an understatement to say there are lots of fun things to do in the nation's oldest city. But just across the Bridge of Lions on Anastasia Island is the town of St. Augustine Beach. A town that holds its own pretty well. We're going to show you some of our recommendations on what to do and hope you can add to the list as well!

My favorite place to travel to. Couple more weeks...Love the city! Been going since I was 4 I am over 40 now...Ty for doing another St Augy video Awesome as always!! ;)

Been going there since the late 70's (58 now) and still have family in the area. They have allowed the area to be way over-built; the Embassy Suites on the beach is a perfect example, you actually used to be able to see the ocean. The drive on beach is like 1-4 at rush hour. St. John's County is one of the fastest growing in the state and it shows....

a LONG time ago, you could drive on the beach in Anastasia Island State Park. You could drive all the way up to the inlet.

Fabulous place. Our home. Awesome weather, history, and great shopping areas.

Thank you for this, with all the craziness going on it's great seeing videos like this.

Love your videos... My family is looking forward to using them as a guide for day trips once the world is fully open again. I have a note on this one though -- At 4:29 you mention seeing "turtles"... What's on the screen is actually an endangered gopher tortoise. People sometimes mistake them for turtles and put them in water (thinking they're helping). Unfortunately, they can't swim. Just want the correct info here to help keep them safe. Thanks again for all the great videos and fun info!

M y dad was a professor at UF and had summers off. So we spent the whole summers in Crescent Beach. I grew up in Gainesville but when people ask where I'm from, I say "Gainesville-St. Augustine." My dad bought a condo 1st at Coquina in Crescent Bch, then sold it when the Sandpiper was built next to it. Then he purchased a condo at the Tradewinds, which ended up being our main summer home. After he passed, my mom kept both condos until recently when she sold the Sandpiper condo. My 3 siblings and I are inheriting The Tradewinds after my mom passes. I don't know if we will keep or other sale it. I live in New York and my brother lives in San Francisco. Our 2 sisters are both still in Gainesville. I hope we keep it. every time I come home to visit-I try to go to 1 home Gator game a year-I spend a few days in Crescent Beach. I feel at peace there. So many family memories, of my childhood, my dad...It replenishes and recharges me. It is such a beautiful beach, so different from most of Florida.
