Anastasia State Park

About Anastasia State Park

Located south of historic St. Augustine, the ancient oak and deciduous forest is the place where Juan Ponce de Leon landed to give Florida its name. Nature trails wind through ancient sand dunes covered with sea and highland hammocks. On the island of Anastasia, visitors to this park can enjoy the tidal marshes surrounding the lagoon and enjoy hiking, biking, canoeing, kayaking, fishing and other outdoor activities. Popular activities include kayaking, paddle boarding, diving, snorkeling, boating and fishing.

For anglers, Anastasia is a great place to catch the big catch with a variety of fish species and some of the best trout in Florida.

The campsites are located in wooded areas, easily accessible by bike or on foot from the beach and are fully equipped. Beach equipment, camping and fishing equipment are sold and courses in various water sports are offered.

More than 300 years ago, it was occupied by mostly Indian workers who dragged boulders in the form of quarries to the top of the mountain for gold and other minerals. The Indian population died out at the end of the 17th century, and quarry workers were generally enslaved Africans.

The blocks were cut from the soft shell stone with hand tools and drilled into squares, then loaded onto oxcarts and transported from Matanzas across the bay to the town of St. Augustine. They were then used in the construction of the first church in the city and the first public library. Since its foundation in 1565, Augustine has been a militant outpost of the American Empire against Spain.

Time and again, timber settlements were destroyed by storms and burned down by pirates and other looters in Europe. On the island of Anastasia, the Spaniards discovered that better building materials were made from rocks from broken shells. Spanish soldiers built their first fortifications in the pine and palm trees that were so abundant. By 1598, enough was dug up to build a magazine for black powder, and by the end of the 1590s more than 1,000 barrels of ammunition had been built.

They had to have the tools to dig up enough for large structures, as well as the equipment to build them, such as cannons, cannons and ammunition.

In 1671, the mining began on a large scale, and the island of Anastasia was even called Cantera, the Spanish quarry. One of several places on the island was the amphitheater in St. Augustine, which is located on this site.

The Kokina rock is relatively soft and can be easily cut through the ground, but hardens when exposed to air. The Spanish learned how to make the stone walls waterproof by covering them with plaster or paint.

Coquina Rock has a number of unique features that make it an ideal fortress. When ships besieged the Castillo, the walls absorbed the cannonballs, and it is one of the best examples of this type of fortification in the world.

Anastasia State Park has 139 campsites of its own, suitable for campers and their families. Each pitch is equipped with electricity if required and each pitch has its own water supply, picnic tables, toilets, showers, bathrooms and other amenities.

None of the sites has a sewage connection, but there are two public telephones for residents of the park. The campsites are located on the north and south sides of Anastasia State Park, near the parking lot entrance, about 1.5 miles from the city of St. Petersburg and about 3 miles from downtown.

Most of the sights are within walking distance, but some of the sights are in the sand that can be blown in from the ocean or other parts of St. Petersburg or the Gulf of Mexico.

One of the aims of this National Park is to protect the natural environment, and between the different sides there is a natural barrier that guarantees the privacy of visitors. The beach is located on the east side of St. Petersburg, south of Lake Okeechobee. There are a number of sites that offer space for camping on boats, some up to 40, but the size of each location varies, as does the location of parking and other amenities.

The concession-run Park Store provides storage supplies, ice cream and firewood and has awarded a number of concessions for beach and water, as well as food and beverages.

Surfing: Surfing in the water at the northern end of the park, near the beach, as well as on the dunes and swamps in other areas.

The four-kilometre beach allows visitors to spread out what they want, and Blowhole Middles still attracts surfers on foot or by bike.

High quality beach holidays are possible in the parks, but the water and air temperatures can make it too hot to surf in swimsuits and swimsuits.
