St Augustine

St, Augustine is a wonderful, quiet residential town located on the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean forty miles south of Jacksonville in an otherwise fairly undeveloped part of St Johns County. It has a population of 14,000 and occupies 8.4 square miles. The San Sebastian and Matanzas Rivers thread through it; three bridges lead to the barrier island beaches. To the west is farm country and the St. Johns river and lake system. Nearest cities: St. Augustine’s location may be delightfully small town, but other cities are not far away. For example, Downtown Jacksonville is only about 45 minutes North, Daytona Beach about an hour South, Gainesville about an hour West. Some smaller towns or sites are nearby: * Butler Beach, FL (3.3 miles) * St. Augustine Beach, FL (3.4 miles) * Crescent Beach, FL (5.0 miles) * Villano Beach, FL (8.6 miles), * Marineland, FL (11.9 miles) * Hastings, FL (15.2 miles)
