Anastasia State Park

Anastasia State Park welcomes hundreds of thousands visitors from all over the world to enjoy our natural and cultural treasures. At Anastasia you can enjoy camping, nature trails, beach time, water sports, and an archaeological site where coquina rock was mined to create the nearby fortress, Castillo de San Marcos National Monument. Anastasia State Park, located just south of historic St. Augustine on Anastasia Island, has 4 miles of pristine beach, a tidal salt marsh, and maritime and upland hammock.

Camping, beachcombing, swimming, fishing, picnicking, windsurfing, hiking, wildlife-viewing, canoeing and kayaking are popular activities. Nature trails meander through the ancient dunes shaded by hammock forest. The full-facility campground is located in a wooded area within easy bicycling or walking distance of the beach.

Island Joe's camp store, rental shop, and grill sells beach sundries, camping and fishing supplies, rents bicycles, beach chairs, ocean toys and umbrellas. Their grill has a great selection of tasty food to choose from. Call 904-461-9322 for more information. Anastasia Watersports rents, canoes, sailboards, paddleboats, and kayaks. Lessons on various water sports are available. Call 904-460-9111 for more information.

Neighboring Park: Fort Mose Historic State Park--Many visitors to Anastasia do not realize that just a short drive north is Fort Mose Historic State Park. (Anastasia administers Fort Mose, pronounced "Mo-say".) Fort Mose was the first free black community in the United States. Fort Mose represents an amazing story of human endurance and the drive for freedom. This park is currently closed as we construct a visitor center. For more information go to: Fort Mose.
