Hi there!
When you are in St Augustine, go to the Atlantic Coast to see the sunrise!
St Augustine is on the sunrise side of the state, which means that you can basically just get yourself to anywhere on St Augustine Beach to see the sunrise!
So yes, St Augustine Beach can be a perfect spot to see the sunrise in Florida!
I stayed at La Fiesta Ocean Inn, where there is private beach access, perfect for a St Augustine sunrise! Read the reviews at partner website booking.com!
Right behind the hotel there is beach access, so it was an easy walk to see the sunrise!
👆 You can go for a perfect sunrise run on St Augustine Beach!

No 2 sunrise pictures are alike! 😆
If you drive along the A1A Beach Blvd (which is different from the A1A), then you will come across small little public access spots to the beach. For example: map.
These types of smaller public access spots tend not to have facilties (aka bathrooms) but they also tend to be more low-key than the main beach parking lots! (Like the St Johns County Ocean Pier, one of the main beaches of St Augustine Beach.)
I stayed overnight in St Augustine on the way from Orlando to Amelia Island.
In the morning it was Blue Spring State Park to see manatees, then it was a drive along the A1A through Flagler Beach, and then to the Washington Oaks Gardens State Park, then the Fort Matanzas National Monument, and then finally… St Augustine Beach! Upon arrival… I went to St Augustine Beach and found shells! The next morning…
It was a perfect St Augustine Beach sunrise!
👆 Car tracks left over on the beach from the day before. You can drive on the beach in St Augustine.
