Deep in the heart of St. Johns County lays a hidden diamond in the rough. Anastasia State Park provides everything that one could ask for when seeking 'real Florida', as it is located along the coastline, surrounded by the beach and the wetlands that have been preserved in such a way that brings 500 year old history back to life today!
Anastasia State Park rests on the exact spot where coquina was mined in order to build the Castillo de San Marco's National Monument, the oldest Spanish Fortress in the country, constructed in 1672. Paddling through the tidal salt marsh in Paddle Salt Run, nature trails, a multitude of water sports and picnicking are few of the pastimes that are enjoyed regularly at Anastasia State Park. With 4 miles of white sandy beaches and only a few miles away from historic St. Augustine, Florida, Anastasia State Park provides much more than an cheap hotel on the outskirts of the oldest city in the Country could ever hope for!
St. Augustine is the home to the famous haunted St. Augustine Lighthouse, the Fountain of Youth, Ripley’s Believe it or Not Museum and more history than you know what to do with! Take a look at the listings that Tropic Shores has for St. Johns County, the deals are incredible!
