Anastasia State Park covers more than 1,600 acres of beach, tidal marsh, maritime hammock and ancient dunes just across the water from old St. Augustine, with four miles of protected shoreline. Look for roseate spoonbills along Salt Run, rent a kayak, paddleboard or bike, or walk the Ancient Dunes Nature Trail, then stop at the Island Beach Shop and Grill.
