Launch

Parking
Vilano Beach ramp, metered
North side of St Augustine Inlet. Ocean access with inlet protection.
Hazards
Inlet current extends along the beach — can push you north
Shore break and rip currents
Surfers in the lineup — share the water
Best Conditions
Light offshore (west) wind, small swell under 2ft. Incoming tide for calmer nearshore conditions.
Local Tips
Use the Vilano Beach boat ramp for easiest launch. Metered parking. Ride north away from the inlet for calmer water. Morning glass is best.
