A Beach City Next to the Nation's Oldest City

St. Augustine Beach is a small incorporated city on Anastasia Island in St. Johns County, about five miles southeast of historic St. Augustine. It is a different market from The Hammock and Palm Coast, with its own city hall at 2200 A1A South and the ZIP code 32080.

 

A1A Beach Boulevard is the civic and commercial spine: restaurants, shops, and the county's Ocean Pier & Park at 350 A1A Beach Boulevard, with a splash pad, picnic areas, volleyball courts, and beach access. Anastasia State Park lies immediately north of Pope Road, just outside the city, and remains one of the area's signature beaches and trail destinations. Downtown St. Augustine's historic district is a short drive north.

A1A, the Pier Park, and Nearby St. Augustine

Days here tend to revolve around the beach and a walkable A1A strip. St. Johns County's Ocean Pier & Park is the civic gathering place; confirm current pier access before you plan a fishing outing, as the pier has undergone periods of repair. The Anastasia Island Branch of the St. Johns County Public Library is in the city, and Anastasia State Park is next door for camping, trails, and a long public beach. SR 312 connects the island west toward I-95 and the rest of the county.

Homes and What to Know

Housing is a mix of single-family homes, beach cottages, and condominiums typical of a built-out Florida beach city, including many second homes. The city itself is not a homeowners association, though individual condominiums and subdivisions may have their own rules. Schools are in the St. Johns County School District; confirm the current zone with the district for any address you are considering.

    • WORK WITH SAMANTHA

    Buyers often look at St. Augustine Beach alongside The Hammock and Palm Coast, and the right fit depends on more than a beach view—city services, the A1A lifestyle, and a short drive to the historic district all play a part. I can help you compare those markets and walk the streets that fit you best. Schedule a consult when you are ready to look in person.
