Anastasia Island is a must-see destination when on vacation in the St. Augustine area – and it’s not even very far from our Bed and Breakfast in the Historic District. This barrier island lies just east of the city and is a 14-mile-long island that is, on average, about a mile in width. Bordered by the Matanzas River on the east and the Atlantic Ocean on the right, this small island paradise contains some of the best beaches found in St. Augustine, including Anastasia Beach itself. It’s also home to the iconic St. Augustine Lighthouse, the St. Augustine Alligator Farm, Fort Matanzas National Monument, and more.
A leading attraction on the island is the quiet beaches and trails of Anastasia State Park. There, you’ll find pristine white sand dunes to explore along Anastasia Beach and plenty of pristine habitats perfect for birdwatching. The park is part of the Great Florida Birding Trail—making it a prime place to spot the numerous shorebird species that visit the area. Anastasia Island isn’t all about the beaches, though. Here, you’ll find many attractions, shops, and restaurants, making it a great place to explore while you’re taking a break from St. Augustine’s exciting but busy historic district.
