Confirmed from Anastasia State Park & Watersports' own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Anastasia State Park & Watersports
“2 hours was plenty of time to paddle around and make it to Lighthouse for great views, after making it to the top @ 219 steps , which was included in tour package price.”
“My daughter and I rented a a two person kayak and were able to spend two hours kayaking in a quiet and safe area away from the larger boats.”
Anastasia Watersports is a wonderful place to rent kayaks and spend an hour or 2 paddling around. Anastasia Watersports is your first left once you enter Anastasia State Park. You can rent single or double kayaks here as well as stand up paddle boards. Paddling around Salt Run you get to see the lighthouse.
Great spot to rent small boats of different kinds. Easy access to Salt Run which is a quiet, clean and wildlife filled saltwater lagoon. Perfect people of all ages and skill sets. Good fishing here as well!
Honestly one of the best hidden gems in St Augustine. Professional and helpful staff with amazing access to Salt Run. Different options for getting out on the water, affordable, and super easy all the way around.
Very affordable ($12 per bike) and convenient to rent bikes for one hour. We rode along the roads in Anastasia State Park past each of the RV campsites, and one hour was the perfect duration to enjoy the scenery but still a quick ride. We even spotted two turtles!
