Atlantic Ocean sunrise at 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.
I stayed at La Fiesta Ocean Inn, where there is private beach access, perfect for a St Augustine sunrise!
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.
And that’s a bit about seeing the sunrise in St Augustine!
