About St. Augustine Beach
St. Augustine Beach sits on Anastasia Island, just outside the nation's oldest continuously occupied city on Florida's northeast Atlantic coast. Visitors pair the wide, drivable-in-places beach with the historic downtown, the pier, and Anastasia State Park's protected dunes. The Atlantic here is warm through the long Florida season and cooler in the winter months. Rip currents are Florida’s deadliest beach hazard, so check the safety flag and rip-current risk above, follow posted flags, and swim near a lifeguard.
