Fort Matanzas Beach Drive Access - Public beach in St. Augustine - 8635 A1A S, USA

We had a great time swimming here. There are no restrooms or buildings, but there is across the way. The tides were rough, but we found quite a few cool shells. We also came across a sea turtle egg nest....

Pretty beach! Plenty of space to walk a dog or hangout with the family. They also have trash cans on premises. The monument for he fort across the street.

Very nice beach. Although I did not drive on beach it is car accessible. I think there may be a charge but your car is right next to you. After the hurricane last year the shore line is smaller and if you go all the way to the south exit the beach is gone. Beach us still pretty good to drive for now

It's a really nice Park that really needs bathrooms. That's the only reason for the lower rating. The water is calm and a good change from more costal beaches. Definitely heavy Lakefront vibes

Go early to ensure the ferry is not booked up. Very cool history.

This beach access is best during the week otherwise on the weekends the parking lots are full. There is so much beach here on both sides of the highway you are sure to find your own spot if you want to be away from people. The wooden boardwalk is nice and overlooks the intra coastal waterway (ICW). There is also a free walkway up by the Matanzas fort park including restrooms and good water for drinking.

Love this beach! Stunning views of the rise! Loved to meditate on the beach🧘🏽‍♀️

Didnt know you could rate a parking lot/ deck walkway but i found a 2 turtles and a snake so 5 stars. Kind of a long walk, but where it comes out is a nice section of beach.
