Condos at Crescent Beach

Crescent Beach Condominiums are some of the most beautiful waterfront condos in Saint Augustine. Most people think of Crescent Beach as areas that include Butlers Beach, Summer Haven and a few other areas between. Crescent Beach is an area with lots of oceanfront condos and very few commercial buildings. I remember when the first condo was breaking ground at Crescent Beach. My father and I were casting for fish in the surf. He mumbled some negative comment about how one day our beach is going to be another Daytona Beach. Well, he was wrong. Crescent Beach has maintained its small, summer village feeling despite the many condominiums. The founding fathers saw what happened in Miami and Daytona Beach and made plans to keep Crescent Beach condos under control. One of the best rules implemented was a height restriction of 35 feet. At Crescent Beach, you won't see a 600 foot skyscraper right on A1A. There are several beach access points and plenty of boat ramps at Crescent Beach. There are also two state parks in the area. Homes in Crescent Beach also have a height restriction of 35 feet.
