Whether you’re a fan of mile after glorious mile of ocean sands or a bit of a history enthusiast eager to explore a piece of Florida’s colonial past, St. Augustine Beach will likely prove appealing. Located on the historic Anastasia Island - a 14-mile (23 kilometres) barrier isle off the mainland’s eastern coast - it is home to plenty of seagoing activities, such as boat tours, to keep people of all ages entertained. From fishing to kayaking to swimming to sedate boardwalks - the island, and its popular state park have the lot. Then there’s the 16th-century Spanish settlement, evidence of which can be seen in such sites as Fort Matanzas and the Coquina Quarries. Throw in the shops and restaurants inevitably associated with a popular coastal resort, and you’ll find plenty to entertain yourself and others. Naturally, this also means there are plenty of Vrbo vacation rentals in St. Augustine Beach, from which to choose when looking for a place to stay here. Read on for some of the best.
