Only five miles from the community of St. Augustine, Anastasia State Park is across Matanzas Bay on a peninsula of Anastasia Island. Teeming with wildlife and opportunities for family activities, Anastasia State Park’s 1600 acres, including four miles of pristine beaches await visitors. Overnight guests may bring their tents or campers to the 139-site campground with electrical and water hookup; each campsite has a grill and a fire ring.
The park offers bicycles to explore its trails, and rents paddleboards, kayaks, sailboats, and canoes for visitors wishing to journey into its tidal marsh. Off shore keen-eyed visitors can spot dolphins, manatees, and sea turtles, and bird watchers come to see the island’s population of laughing gulls, least terns, black skimmers, bald eagles, and several different types of heron. The park has a small grill serving fresh food, and a gift shop with souvenirs of the park.
