Are you looking to make a healthy lifestyle change? Whether you’re visiting St. Augustine or have lived here all your life, here are a few great ideas to make exercise fun.
How about stand up paddle boarding to get a little exercise? St. Augustine has plenty of places to rent stand up paddle boards for a day out on the water. If you have no experience and are looking for some calm waters to try this great sport, I recommend Anastasia Water Sports in Anastasia State Park. You can rent boards here on the calm waters of Salt Run. They will also give you a few minutes of instruction before you head out on your own. Pit Surf Shop offers rentals and lessons as does Lets Go Stand Up. For info and rates, give them a call.
