The Vilano Pier, extending 600 feet into the Atlantic, is a popular spot for anglers and anyone wanting to catch a view of St. Augustine from across the water. The pier also provides one of the best vistas to watch the sunset over downtown.

Local cafes and restaurants featuring fresh ingredients and multicultural cuisine dot the landscape of this beach community where stone crab and other fresh seafood are a prominent part of local dining. Historic and vintage buildings, including the Irish-inspired Castle Otttis, the former Alcazar Hotel (now home to the Lightner Museum), and a 19th-century jail are scattered throughout town, each offering insight into the area’s history.

What are the top things to do in Vilano Beach?

Castle Otttis

Built for aesthetic and artistic purposes between 1984 and 1988, Castle Otttis is a stone castle that emulates Irish castles from nearly 1,000 years ago. The picturesque landmark stands along the St. Augustine shoreline and is surrounded by dense, lush greenery. While you need an appointment to visit the grounds, Castle Otttis is also easily admired from a distance.

The Lightner Museum

In downtown St. Augustine, the Lightner Museum sits in the former Alcazar Hotel, which was once a Spanish Renaissance Revival hotel but now resides on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, it’s home to an array of antiques, including 19th-century American and European paintings, mechanical musical instruments of the Victorian era, and special exhibits. The permanent collection, spanning four floors, is brimming with historical artifacts primarily from the gilded age and Victorian era.
