Sports & Outdoors

Stay active outside surrounded by beaches, rivers, and coastal forests.

The St. Augustine landscape is a mixture of beautiful marsh land, sandy beaches, wild inlets, and coastal forests. The great outdoors serve as a natural backdrop for kayaking, fishing, and exploring. Our Calendar of Events lists the many outdoor sports and recreation options too, including marathons, golf tournaments, fishing charters, paddle boarding excursions, and more. With mild winters, visitors can enjoy playing outdoors all year long.
