Vilano Beach

Vilano Beach is located off the Coastal Highway just north of St. Augustine, Florida and is approximately a one hour drive from Jacksonville International Airport. Holidaymakers and locals alike can enjoy the quiet long sandy beaches here along which cars can be driven. One of the popular sights at the resort, especially with children is the large 'Bluebird of Happiness' statue.

Visitors can see the beach pavilion located by the ocean with an interactive fountain. Meanwhile a matching pavilion is located at the fishing pier on the Intracoastal Waterway at either end of Vilano Road. Both pavilions combine art deco moderne and Florida vernacular architectural styles. Visitors can also wander along a boardwalk over the salt water marsh in the Intracoastal estuary and see various species of birds.

St. Augustine offers many activities including boat trips and sailing and is just two miles away. There are a few places for holidaymakers to stay here including Hampton Inn & Suites, Magic Beach Motel and Ocean Blue all of which are on Vilano Road. There are restaurants nearby such as Benito's Pizza & Pastabilities on Vilano Road ad Kingfish Grill, which is in neighboring Saint Augustine.
