ACTIVITIES
Full Facility Camping
Anastasia State Park has a 139 site campground that
is equipped for both tent campers and RVers. Each
site has a picnic table, an in-ground grill, fire
ring and water. All sites are equipped with electricity,
if needed. None of the sites have sewer hookups,
but there is a dump station located in the campground,
as well as dumpsters for your household trash.
Beaches
Anastasia’s beautiful beach draws visitors
from all around the world. With over four miles
of pristine Atlantic Ocean beachfront, it’s
easy to see why! Anastasia’s beachfront extends
southward from the St. Augustine inlet. Walkers,
joggers, fishermen, birding enthusiasts, and people
just looking for fresh air and a walk with nature
all love the beach at Anastasia. Surfers, too, find
breakers much to their liking along the beach.
Fishing
For the fisherman, Anastasia State Park is a great
place to haul in the big catch. The area just north
of the bird nesting area at the jetties, as well
as Salt Run, are well-used sites.
Nature Trails
We feature a self-guided nature trail that allows
you to walk over ancient sand dunes now covered
with a hardwood hammock.
Picnicking
Anastasia State Park also has one (1) picnic pavilion
for daily rentals. Contact our Ranger Station
at 904-461-2033 to reserve your
pavilion, or if you have any additional questions
