The day’s key decisions involve beach flags, surf, rip currents, dune crossings, and bridge or causeway status.

Planning an Outing at Anastasia State Park

Check beach flags, surf, rip currents, dune crossings, and bridge or causeway status for the exact access point and activity—not just the nearest city forecast. Confirm current park, refuge, marina, ramp, ferry, road, bridge, course, or operator notices that apply to St. Augustine & Anastasia State Park, and preserve enough daylight and shelter margin to change plans.

Weather Tips

• Check wind, tides, marine forecasts, beach flags or inlet current, and water-quality notices for the exact access area.
• Leave beaches, boats, piers, open golf courses, and exposed shorelines immediately when thunder is heard.
• During tropical threats, follow local evacuation, bridge, marina, ferry, campground, and coastal-closure instructions; storm surge may affect access before landfall.
• Check conditions near Vilano Beach shortly before the activity starts.
