About
St. Augustine Beach: D St. is a public beach access point on the Florida coast, about 0.3 miles from the town of St. Augustine Beach. It gives a straightforward way onto the sand from town, and dogs are allowed here, which makes this access an easy choice for anyone bringing a pet along. Spring and fall bring the most comfortable weather. Typical April highs reach about 80°F and typical November highs about 75°F, according to averages from a nearby weather station at the St. Augustine Lighthouse. Summer runs hotter and wetter, with July highs around 91°F and roughly 13 wet days that month. Moses Creek Conservation Area Trail, about 6 miles away, adds a hiking option to a beach day. Rattlesnake Island, a climbing area about 10 miles from the access, is also within reach.
