ABOUT VILANO BEACH

St. Augustine’s Hidden Gem

Vilano Beach is located only 10 minutes away from historic downtown St. Augustine on Florida’s scenic A1A Byway. Vilano offers a variety of amenities from oceanfront and oceanside opportunities for beach lovers with a wide array of restaurants, hotels, and activities – including fishing, surfing, boating, and more.

The Vilano Beach Pier is located on the river side of the Matanzas Inlet, and it’s one of the best vantage points to watch the sunset over downtown St. Augustine and will also be a focal point location for Whiskey, Wine & Wildlife’s events. Wildlife will be showcased in partnership with the nearby GTM Reserve, a national estuarine research reserve, including a $5 million environmental education facility just 6 miles north of the Vilano Bridge with 11,000 acres of preservation land and wildlife habitat.
