WEDDINGS AND RECEPTIONS NEW REGULATIONS EFFECTIVE 12-03-07
As of December 03, 2007, the City of St. Augustine Beach passed ordinance 07-21 deciding to regulate weddings/receptions on the beach as special events. The ordinance (07-21 passed at the 12/03/07 Commission Meeting) may require you to apply for a permit for this special event. For more information, click here.

Hurricane re-entry passes are available at the St. Augustine Beach Police Department (SABPD). You must have proof of residency with you to receive a pass.

There has been some confusion as to when a re-entry pass should be disposed of. Re-Entry passes do not expire with the season, your hurricane re-entry pass can be reused from season to season, and should be kept as long as you reside on Anastasia Island.

During times of impending danger from Tropical Storm damage, hurricane re-entry passes are generally at a premium. Although we do not charge for these passes, at certain times we can run out and it may become very difficult to obtain one. The hurricane re-entry pass should be obtained early, and kept in a safe place until needed.

An overlay district has been created for A1A Beach Blvd. between 16th St. and F St. Click here to view the Overlay District Ordinance, or click here for the application.

Official City meetings of the St. Augustine Beach City Commission and the City of St. Augustine Beach Comprehensive Planning and Zoning Board are broadcast live on ComCast Channel 2 (BeachTV) as well as webcast from here. For a schedule of upcoming broadcasts, click here.
