When I retired over 11 years ago, the first place we spent time as snowbirds was at St. Augustine Beach, FL  This was before we became RVer’s.  We spent 4 winters at St. Augustine Beach in rented condos near the beach.  It was the hook that made us love the snowbird lifestyle.

We really like this area of Florida.  The beach is spectacular.  It’s flat and several miles long.  A great beach for walking or bike riding.  It also has the feel of a small casual beach town with no high rise condo buildings like you see in other Florida beach towns. Traffic is almost nonexistent.  And it’s just a few miles to visit the historic city of St. Augustine

We decided to spend our snowbird time further south in a warmer area.  But we still enjoy making a stop in St Augustine Beach when we make our annual snowbird migration.

A few weeks ago, we spent 5 days at St. Augustine Beach.  While I was there, I visited some favorite places and decided to make a video to share.  You can see it below.

There’s a lot that I didn’t cover in the video.  Just off the island are places like Fort Matazansas, Marineland, and the city fo St. Augustine. And there’s plenty more great food places.

Below you’ll find some related posts that I wrote about wintering at St. Augustine Beach.
