The Anastasia State Park on Anastasia Island just south of St. Augustine is truly one of Florida’s natural treasures. On the island you can
enjoy an endless variety of activities on four miles of pristine beach, and even visit an archaeological site where coquina rock was mined to build the fortress Castillo de San Marcos.
 The main attraction on Anastasia Island is the beach and the activities it offers, from sunbathing to surfing, but the natural beauty of the island and its native wildlife are a big part of why Anastasia is one of Florida’s busiest state parks. Camping, swimming, windsurfing, hiking, beachcombing, fishing, canoeing and kayaking, and wildlife-viewing are just a few of the popular activities at Anastasia State Park. It is truly a peaceful place to visit. Nature trails wind through the ancient dunes, shaded by the hardwood hammock forest where you’ll find a variety of birds and plants. Camping is so popular on Anastasia Island that reservations are taken 11 months in advance.
Each year the park plays host to several events, including the Haunted Hayride around Halloween, the annual Beach Bash in June,
and during the summer the park hosts campfire programs on many Saturday nights which include a fire circle, slide shows, entertainment, and living history programs. Fees for the park are $5 per vehicle, with a maximum of eight people; and $1 for pedestrians and bicyclists.
