The Beachside Alternative to Downtown St. Augustine
Vilano Beach offers the rare combination of peaceful oceanfront surroundings and easy access to historic St. Augustine. Guests can begin the day with Atlantic sunrises and quiet walks along the shore, then cross the bridge to explore centuries of architecture, culture, dining, and history.
The area is especially well suited to travelers who want more privacy, space, and beach access than a downtown hotel typically provides—without feeling disconnected from the city.
Nearby conveniences may include:
Stroll the Old City Gates and wander the historic district.
Climb to the top of the St. Augustine Lighthouse for sweeping views.
