are there umbrellas and deck chairs on the beach??? can you rent them???

Yes, many of the beaches in St. Augustine offer umbrellas and deck chairs for rent, making it convenient for visitors who don’t want to bring their own gear. Rentals are generally available at the more popular public beaches as well as at some beachfront hotels and resorts.

The process is usually straightforward. You can rent for a few hours or for the entire day, depending on your needs. Some rental stations provide both umbrellas and chairs as a package, while others let you choose individually.

Popular areas for rentals include:

  • St. Augustine Beach – Several vendors along the main beach access points offer chairs and umbrellas.
  • Palm Coast and Anastasia State Park – Rentals are sometimes available seasonally at these locations, often through beachside concession stands.
  • Beachfront hotels in the area – Many hotels provide umbrella and chair rentals for guests, sometimes included in the resort fee or available for a small daily charge.

It's a good idea to arrive early, especially on weekends or during spring/summer months, to secure the setup you want. If you prefer guaranteed availability, some vendors and hotels allow advance reservations online or by phone.

Overall, renting umbrellas and chairs in St. Augustine is easy and adds to a comfortable, relaxing day at the beach without having to carry your own equipment.
