What you should know about Anastasia Island
Anastasia Island is the barrier island that runs along the Atlantic east of St. Augustine. It includes St. Augustine Beach (a separate city), Davis Shores, the St. Augustine Lighthouse, Anastasia State Park, and miles of beach.
Housing varies wildly — oceanfront condos, beach cottages, newer single-family homes, and a few luxury estates. Pricing depends heavily on proximity to the beach and whether the home is in St. Augustine Beach (the city) or unincorporated Anastasia Island.
Flood zones, elevation, and hurricane considerations are real factors here. The island offers easy beach access and a quieter alternative to the busier historic district.
