About the Island

Anastasia Island is a barrier island about 14 miles long and roughly a mile wide, separated from the mainland by the Matanzas River and stretching south to Matanzas Inlet. Its history runs deep: the Spanish quarried coquina here to build much of St. Augustine, including the Castillo de San Marcos, and Fort Matanzas has guarded the island’s southern end since the 1740s. The Bridge of Lions, completed in 1927, connects the island to downtown.
