Vilano Beach, located two miles north of St. Augustine Florida, is a secret gem, that is usually bypassed by visitors. But, with far fewer people visiting this beach and river area, I’d suggest you make it your base when visiting St. Augustine. The river, only blocks from the beach, is home to endangered manatees, fish, right whales and alligators, putting you at one with nature. Plus, you’ll get to experience this sunset, all to yourself.
