Manager's Message
Anastasia State Park is a joy in fall. Birds flock and grasses bend in the cool
breezes. Recent sightings include screech owls and brown pelicans. You never
know what beautiful things you may see here in the park.
Please enjoy your visit as much as we enjoy serving you!
- Paul Crawford, Park Manager
Welcome to Anastasia State Park
Anastasia State Park welcomes visitors from all over the world to enjoy the
remarkable natural and cultural treasures we steward. At Anastasia you can enjoy
camping, nature trails, beach time, water sports, and an archaeological site
where coquina rock was mined to create the nearby fortress, Castillo de San
Marcos.
Anastasia State Park, located just south of historic St. Augustine on Anastasia
Island, has a broad beach, a tidal salt marsh, and maritime and upland hammock.
Camping, beachcombing, swimming, fishing, picnicking, windsurfing, hiking,
wildlife-viewing, and boating are popular activities. Nature trails meander
through the ancient dunes shaded by hammock forests.
The full-facility campground is in a wooded area within easy bicycling or
walking distance of the beach.
Island Joe's camp store, rental shop, and tropical grill sells beach sundries,
camping and fishing supplies, and rents bicycles, beach chairs, ocean toys,
umbrellas, canoes, sailboards, paddleboats and kayaks. Lessons on various water
sports are available. Call 904-461-9322 for more information.
Neighboring Park: Fort Mose Historic State Park Many visitors to Anastasia do
not realize that just a short drive north is Fort Mose Historic State Park.
(Anastasia administers Fort Mose, pronounced "Mo-say".) Fort Mose was the first
free black community in the United States. Fort Mose represents an amazing story
of human endurance and the drive for freedom. This park is currently closed as
we construct a visitor center. For more information go to: http://www.floridastateparks.org/fortmose/default.cfm
