Crescent Beach is a beautiful stretch of the Florida coast just south of St. Augustine. It gets its name from the natural shape on the coastline. The hard-packed sand lends itself to activities including beach bike rides, walks, frisbee, and volleyball.

Visitors can enjoy relaxing on the beach or participating in a variety of water sports like surfing, swimming, and boogie boarding, as well as boating from the marked public access points on A1A.

Crescent Beach is a small community with little commercial development. There are plenty of beach house rentals, condos, and cottages available here. Wooden decks and flyovers provide a safe access to the beach across the protected sand dunes.
