St. Augustine Bars: Anastasia Island
Anastasia Boulevard and Salt Run between the bridge and the beach: taquerias, a Hawaiian food truck, a fishing-lodge dining room, and the marina at the Conch House.
A Caribbean fishing-lodge kitchen tied to Vaughn Cochran's fly-fishing art and the Blackfly Lodge in Abaco, with his paintings on every wall. After 13 years at 108 Anastasia Blvd it bought the old Mellow Mushroom building at 410 and moved there in early 2026, wine room of more than a thousand bottles included.
The Ponce family has run this spot on Salt Run since 1946, when the old Coast Guard gunnery station became a four-room hotel. Eat on the deck under a palm or in grass huts built over the water, walk-up only, with a 200-slip marina and live music on the Lounge Deck.
