Vilano Beach

One of the few beaches in St. John’s County that permits driving on the beach, Vilano is an easy-to-find beach destination.  It’s just 2 miles north of historic St. Augustine and an easy place to park & picnic or for those of you who bring your whole house to the beach!  Beach Driving access March 1 – the end of September.

The beach is also accessible by a boardwalk from the parking lot over the dunes. 

My favorite feature of this beach is found along the boardwalk- there are several signs picturing some animals you may see during your trip.  We prefer the extensive beaches of St. Augustine & Crescent Beach for family beach days but if you like driving out with all your gear, Vilano is the place for you.

Vilano Beach also offers a covered pavilion with picnic benches, restrooms & a shower.  Lifeguards staffed seasonally.
