Vilano Beach is located just to the north of the better-known St. Augustine and is one of the area's best-kept secrets. The beach is excellent for skimboarding, surfing, and other watersports, and it hosts the annual Run Drop Slide Pro/Am Skimboard competition every summer.
Amenities include restrooms, parking, and showers, and any visitors who are early risers should make an effort to catch the beautiful sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean. Sunbathing, swimming, and beach combing are all popular activities, and the beach is also known to be an excellent place to hunt for shark teeth.
