About five miles south of historic, charming St. Augustine lies Anastasia State Park, which takes you to another world of pristine beaches, ancient dunes, tidal marshes, and dense mangroves. The park consists of 1,600 acres of incredibly rich ecosystems full of wildlife. If you are wondering what to do in St Augustine with active kids, this is a great idea.

You can spend a day swimming, beachcombing, hiking, bird watching, or just taking in the scenery and contemplating the richness of nature. You can stay the night in one of the 139 campsites and rent a bike, kayak, paddleboard, or sailboat. There is even a grill area for a delicious beach lunch or dinner.
