Hi there!
I had just arrived to the place I was staying at in St Augustine Beach FL.
This had private beach access from the property, so of course one of the first things I did was walk to the beach!
And, as I was walking the beach access path across the low-lying dunes, it looked like there was a car on the beach straight ahead off!
And as I got closer, I could see that yes, St Augustine Beach is one of the Florida beaches that you can drive on the beach!


I stayed at La Fiesta Ocean Inn, where there is private beach access, perfect for a quiet St Augustine sunrise! Read the reviews at partner website booking.com!

So I was staying at La Fiesta Ocean Inn, so the part of St Augustine Beach that I saw these cars driving is around 1 mile south of the main St Augustine Beach pier (the St Johns County Ocean Pier). (map)
