Anastasia State Park

Anastasia State Park is a 1,600 acre state park in Saint Augustine, Florida. The park includes four miles of beach, a salt marsh, maritime area, and upland hammock. Anastasia State Park is considered an archeological site due to the coquina rock that has been mined in the near fortress.

The fortress is Castillo de San Marcos National Monument. The monument can be visited while visiting the state park. At the park one can also enjoy beachcombing, camping, swimming, fishing, picnicking, windsurfing, wildlife viewing, hiking, and boating.

The park has a full facility for camping. There are 139 campsites, some with wooded areas to make them more private. Part of the park is the walking paths, which can be used for biking or walking. The paths lead to the beach. A self guided nature trail will also take guests around the maritime hammock. This is also the site of older sand dunes which are being preserved by the state park.

Fishers can set up at a couple of different spots on the beach to fish the Atlantic. Nearby is the Anastasia Watersports center which offers canoes, paddleboats, sailboards, and kayaks. Lessons are also possible should one wish it.
