Inside Scoop

Catch the Sunrise from Your Balcony

Before heading to the beach, pour a cup of coffee and watch the sun rise over the Atlantic from one of your three private balconies. It's one of the best—and most peaceful—ways to start your day. Locals say sunrise is every bit as beautiful as sunset here.

Enjoy Crescent Beach Before 10 a.m.

One of the biggest advantages of staying at Creston House is having direct access to Crescent Beach. Go early and you'll often feel like you have miles of beach almost to yourself. It's also the best time for shell hunting, dolphin spotting, and long walks. Crescent Beach is known for being much quieter than the beaches closer to downtown.

The Best Shells Appear After High Tide

Walk south toward Matanzas Inlet after a high tide or following a storm for the best chance to find beautiful seashells and even shark teeth.

Skip the Chain Coffee Shops

Locals head to Paladar Cuban Eatery & Bakery for authentic Cuban coffee, fresh pastries, breakfast sandwiches, and croquetas before spending the day on the beach. It's one of Crescent Beach's favorite hidden gems.

Park Once, Then Relax

Traffic and parking downtown can get busy. Many locals recommend arriving in the late afternoon, exploring the historic district, enjoying dinner, and staying through the evening when the city takes on a magical atmosphere.

Visit the Beach at Night

Bring a flashlight and take an evening stroll on the beach. The cooler temperatures, ocean breeze, and sound of the waves make for an unforgettable experience.

Watch for Dolphins

Early mornings and just before sunset are the best times to spot dolphins swimming just offshore. Bring binoculars—you may also see pelicans diving for fish and other coastal wildlife.

Paddle the Intracoastal Waterway

Just minutes away, Genung's Fish Camp rents kayaks and paddleboards. It's a favorite among locals for exploring the calm waters of the Matanzas River, where sightings of dolphins, manatees, and a variety of birds are common. Genung's Fish Camp Live Bait, Tackle, Kayak Rentals & Fishing Licenses

Try a Local Specialty

Don't leave without trying:

Minorcan clam chowder
Fresh local shrimp
Datil pepper hot sauce (St. Augustine's signature flavor)
Fresh-caught grouper
Escape the Crowds

If downtown feels busy, head back to Crescent Beach. Locals treasure it for its relaxed, "Old Florida" atmosphere, wide shoreline, and fewer crowds compared with the more tourist-heavy beaches.

Explore Beyond St. George Street

Some of the best discoveries are just off the main tourist path. Wander down side streets, browse local galleries, enjoy live music under the oak trees at Colonial Oak, and don't be afraid to duck into hidden courtyards—they're full of charm.

One Last Tip...

The best vacation days here are often the simplest:

Coffee on the balcony
A morning beach walk
An afternoon by the pool
Fresh seafood for dinner
A moonlit stroll along Crescent Beach

That's the rhythm of life that keeps guests returning to Creston House year after year.
