There’s a reason families return year after year for spring break in St. Augustine. With miles of sandy shoreline, centuries of history, and outdoor adventures for all ages, our coastal town offers the perfect balance of relaxation and exploration.
At Saint Augustine Vacation Rentals, we know what makes a family trip special. From oceanfront condos to properties close to the Historic District, our team helps guests find the right fit so they can focus on making memories together.
Beach Fun & Relaxation
St. Augustine Beach and Crescent Beach are family favorites during spring. Wide stretches of sand give kids plenty of room to play, while parents enjoy peaceful walks along the shore.
Spend your mornings building sandcastles and your afternoons collecting shells. Many of our St. Augustine vacation rentals place you just steps from the beach, making it easy to head back for lunch or a quick rest.
For families who like a little activity, consider:
- Surf lessons for teens and older kids
- Beach volleyball at public access points
- Early morning dolphin spotting
Beach days here are simple, safe, and full of sunshine.
Outdoor Adventure
Beyond the shoreline, there are countless St. Augustine activities that keep families moving. Spring weather is mild, making it a great time to explore parks, waterways, and scenic trails.
Kayaking and Paddleboarding
The Intracoastal Waterway offers calm waters ideal for beginners. Guided eco-tours teach families about local wildlife, including dolphins and coastal birds.
Boat Tours
Many tours depart from the downtown marina, where you’ll get views of the Castillo de San Marcos and the Bridge of Lions. It’s sightseeing made easy—no walking required.
State Parks
Anastasia State Park is perfect for families who enjoy biking, hiking, or birdwatching. The park includes:
- Nature trails
- Picnic areas
- A protected beach area
Washington Oaks Gardens State Park, just south of town, features unique coquina rock formations and beautiful walking paths.
Historic District Exploration
St. Augustine’s Historic District blends education with fun. Cobblestone streets and centuries-old buildings turn a simple stroll into a learning experience.
Cathedral Basilica
The Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine is the oldest Catholic parish in the United States. Its Spanish Colonial architecture and detailed interior make it worth a stop.
