Few areas on northeast Florida’s coast characterize the true, laid-back coastal lifestyle like Matanzas Shores. Situated between the world’s oldest oceanarium and dolphin park, Marineland, and Washington Oaks State Park, this oceanside community is truly a beachside oasis of beaches, fishing, tennis and kayaking. Historic Florida Highway A1A offers a short 20-minute drive from St. Augustine to the north and Flagler Beach to the south. Close to population centers but far enough removed to offer peace and tranquility to its happy residents. Matanzas Shores consists of two separate but connected communities, Lakeside and Surf Club and is a combination of condominiums and townhomes dotted with freshwater lakes. There is private access to the beach and Intracoastal Waterway, walking and biking trails, tennis courts and multiple clubhouses and pools.
