The St. Johns County Ocean Pier

St. Johns County Ocean Pier is a popular gathering point in St. Augustine Beach, offering a wide selection of activities for locals and visitors. It's also walking distance from other beach/swim apparel shops, seaside restaurants, and coastal hotels.

The pier hosts several annual events, including the Music by the Sea series during the summer months, and the Beach Blast Off on New Year's Eve.

Note: Swimming and surfing are not permitted within 400 feet of the pier.
