St. Augustine Beach is located on Anastasia Island where you can enjoy white sand beaches, the St. Johns County Pier, a playground, pavilion, fishing pier, volleyball courts, bait shops, fine restaurants, shopping along with RV and cabin camping areas location nearby.

Until the middle of the 18th century, the St. Augustine Beach area was used as pasture land for cattle and quarries for coquina. The Castillo de San Marcos in St Augustine was built of coquina. The coquina's porosity turned out to make it an ideal material for the walls of the fort. Cannon balls failed to shatter the coquina and were absorbed into the rock, much as jabbing a tool into Styrofoam results in holes but not in breakage of the Styrofoam. The coquina walls absorbed projectiles rather than deflecting them, providing a surprisingly long-lived fortress that survived numerous attacks. Today, at an age of over 300 years, it is North America's oldest masonry fort.

In 1730, a businessman from New York by the name of Jessie Fish claimed the coastal land south of the lighthouse and established the local citrus industry. The Fish family cultivated this land until the 1820's. In the 1880's, St. Augustine Beach was called South Beach. The transportation from St. Augustine was provided via the South Beach Railroad.

In 1920, the first hotels in St. Augustine Beach brought tourists who enjoyed the pastoral escape from formal St. Augustine. There were no paved roads, the only way to travel was over the dunes or to drive on the beach. The history of St. Augustine Beach is closely tied to the history of early exploration in North America. The settlements of the French, British and Spanish explorers in this area played an important role in the rich history of Florida and the United States.
