I found out Brian was working in the Jacksonville area so I asked him if he wanted to meet me near St. Augustine to do a little State Parking in that area. Before I made it to the official entrance I stooped at the old Spanish Coquina Quarries to take a look around. It was pretty cool because the coquina harvested from there was used in many of the building in St. Augustine, including the fort, Castillo de San Marcos. Once Casey and were done looking around, we met up with Brian to consolidate cars and drive into the park.
At the ranger station we were informed that Casey could go anywhere in the park but on the beach. We were not informed that most of the park was actually the beach. We took a walk by the sand dunes, I dared Brian to roll down one of them but he flat out refused, hee hee hee, We followed the boardwalk to the beach, took a look out and then made our way back to the truck.
It was a beautiful park but one that needed to be explored further without a dog.
Before you visit, make sure you check out the parks website for all of the up-to-date park information: https://www.floridastateparks.org/index.php/anastasia
