Crescent Beach is a shifty, sand-bottom beach break and the last surfable stretch before the sharky Matanzas Inlet. It doesn't hold big surf, but can turn garden-variety wind chop into fun, peaky waves depending on sandbar alignment. If the sandbars are good in St. Augustine, they'll be good here too. Well-suited for beginners and longboarders looking for uncrowded, mellow conditions.
