Sunshine, Sand, and the Open Road: A Camper's Guide to Beaches Near St. Augustine
May · Stagecoach RV Park, St. Augustine, FL
There's something magical about waking up in your RV, pouring that first cup of coffee, and knowing the beach is just a short drive away. May is one of the best times to explore the Florida coast near St. Augustine — the summer crowds haven't fully arrived yet, the water is warming up beautifully, and the days are long and golden. If you're staying at Stagecoach RV Park, you're perfectly positioned to make the most of it.
Vilano Beach is the closest option to the park. It has a wonderfully low-key feel — uncrowded shores, a small pier, and a relaxed atmosphere that regulars absolutely love. It's perfect for a quick morning walk or an easy afternoon by the water without any fuss.
St. Augustine Beach, about 15 minutes away, is the area's most popular stretch — wide sandy shores, a fishing pier, and plenty of spots to set up chairs and watch the waves roll in. Parking is easy and free in several areas, making it a great go-to for a full day out.
Just a bit further south, Crescent Beach offers an even quieter, more laid-back atmosphere. It's a favorite among locals who want to skip the busier stretches and simply enjoy the water. The shelling here is excellent, especially in the early morning hours before the tide shifts.
For something truly unique, Anastasia State Park is a must. Just minutes from downtown St. Augustine, this park offers over four miles of pristine Atlantic beach, nature trails, and picnic areas — all within a protected coastal environment. The park fills up on weekends, so an early arrival is always a good idea in May.
No matter which beach calls your name, Stagecoach RV Park gives you a comfortable, well-located home base to explore them all. After a day in the sun and sand, there's nothing better than heading back to your site, firing up the grill, and reliving the highlights of the day.
