    The Saint Augustine Amphitheatre is hands-down my favorite outdoor live music venue in all of Florida. They consistently bring in incredible acts and somehow manage to keep ticket prices reasonable. Honestly, it feels like there's no bad seat in the house. Getting in is always a breeze, and while parking can be tricky, they've got it covered with shuttles from Anastasia State Park and other spots. Personally, I like to stay down the street at the Courtyard Marriott- it's an easy $12 Uber to and from the show. The staff here are genuinely some of the kindest people you'll meet, such a sweet, welcoming crew every single time. Food and drink options are surprisingly good, especially for a venue this size. Over the years, I've seen at least ten shows here, and each one has been a memorable experience. Beyond concerts, the venue is a hub for the community hosting a fantastic farmers market every Saturday and participating in Sing Out Loud and other local festivals. I love this place so much it makes me wish I lived in St. Augustine. If you get the chance to see a show here- do it! The Amp is seriously a true gem!

    My buddy had a spare Foreigner ticket for sale and I had to bite ;) it was a last minute thing as the person who bailed, left him hanging so he sold the ticket to me for a great deal. I had never been to this venue before and wasn't sure how traffic and parking would turn out. Fortunately it was a Sunday evening so getting to the venue was a breeze. Once there, I found out that all the entrances to Anastasia Park were blocked off except for one, which was for pre-pay VIP parking. I did some research beforehand and found that you can park free in Satellite parking and take the tram over to the venue or park in the Elks Club parking lot for $20. I opted for the $20 lot so I could conveniently get to and from the amphitheatre via a short trail plus beat the crowd and traffic when heading home. The Elks club is open to the public so if you're looking for better priced drinks before entering the amphitheatre, the Elks is the best and closest deal around. There were three entrances into the venue with multiple security checkpoints available providing efficient entry. Once inside, you will find plenty of drink and food vendors available. Drinks are a bit pricey but it's pretty much competitive with any other venue like this one. Two tall IPA beers came to $30. If you come back with your reusable cup you can save a dollar on refills, not the best but better than nothing. The seating section closest to the stage is covered but seats further back are not, so be sure to know where your seats are before purchasing tickets to avoid inclement weather. Also be sure to bring a light jacket. It was windy at night which made it seem more cold than it actually was The seats are probably my biggest complaint about this venue they are very small and are mounted so close together that you can't help but bump and rub against the person next to you. If you need to get up to use the restroom or grab another drink it can be a major interruption to other concert goers. The lighting and sound during our event was magnificent. I couldn't have asked for a better audio-visual experience. I would definitely come back for another show in the future and highly recommend seeing a show here if you have the opportunity.

    total chaos upon entry, ridiculous prices for food and drink,parking is a nightmare, and the Billy Strings crowd was insufferable. I'll probably avoid this venue in the future.

    This girl was working with a guy who said would be $1000 to park here guy that was working with her she didn't ask he did

    Came back three days after the six concert everybody was so helpful tonight they just don't care if you're handicapped I'm having a panic attack and I want the ambulance here they won't call the ambulance. This is so bad Rod Stewart at night. parking people are no help if anything or mean and agitated and will not help anybody handicap. They don't care. They said it will cost me $1000 to park in the parking lot.

    I love the AMP!! Ranked #2 best amphitheater in the world!! Wow. I've seen dozens of bands come through this amazing venue and will continue to make the drive to St Augustine to see great music. Not a bad seat in the place. Always clean. Facilities easily accessible. Great acoustics throughout the amphitheater. Can't wait to see the next show at the AMP.

    We are SO lucky to have a venue like the St. Augustine Amp right here in town!! Seriously, it's such a blessing to have a spot this good so close to home. We go multiple times a year for all kinds of events--concerts, festivals, you name it--and every experience has been smooth and enjoyable. I love that they offer free shuttles from satellite lots... it makes parking and getting in and out so much easier (especially when you're juggling kids or snacks or both ). They also do a great job encouraging sustainability, which I appreciate! You get $1 off drinks when you bring your cup back to the bar--such a simple but smart perk. Oh, and don't sleep on the food! The sausage with peppers and onions hits the spot every time. Whether you're a local or visiting St. Augustine, catching a show at the Amp is always a good idea.

    Great seats. Great show. Went and saw Alice Cooper. Good parking. All around fun night and amphitheater did wonderful with all amenities.

    Went to a concert last night at this outside venue located away from downtown St. Augustine. While we went to a concert in August, the later start time (730pm) allowed for it to cool down some. I was impressed by the venue and the set up. Sold out it holds a little less than 4K and while the lower bowl is covered, the back half is open to the elements. So if it rains, they will keep playing but you will get soaked like we did - it will all depend on your stomach for weather on how much you enjoy it if it was raining. Ours artists played through a lighting storm. However, I do think a show in late fall or early spring would be amazing bc you would be outside in good weather. They do offer concessions and they also allow local vendors and food trucks to come in so you get a better variety than most concerts. The facilty is staffed mostly by volunteers, from parking to ushers to food service and they are pleasant and generally helpful. They use AXS for ticket sales which will not charge you as much as ticket master but every ticket I got was a resale and marked up by the seller. Try to go through the amphitheater if you can, but it is hard to figure out when tickets go on sale. The only down side I saw was parking, like their website says it is limited. We opted to park at one of the off-site parking spots at Anastasia State Park and while we had no problem catching the shuttle on the way to the show, the line to get back after the show was super long (esp. for sold out shows). So long, that one of the security guards recommended walking, which we opted for. The walk back is dark and takes between 15-20 minutes so be prepared to use the flashlight on your phone at times or if you plan on walking after your show maybe pack one. Also, the volunteers are no longer there at the end and there are a couple of turns at the end where you can get turned around (luckily we did not). There are also Ubers available and bike taxis (but I am not sure how far they go). All in all good experience, minus some normal concert hiccups.

    We had a fun Saturday afternoon at the farmers market. We didn't find the hot sauce we bought here previously, but the food vendor locations were varied and plentiful. We got the pierogis with mushrooms and sour cream. Delicious.

    We were soaked rats sitting in the storm this st Augustine amplitheater have no updates we sat in bad weather for an hour and 18 minutes .

    This place refused to refund our tickets to a show that was not performed mercy me . We sat in the storm for over an hour all for them to say come back in 20 hours for a second attempt to see the concert . The people who had the tickets all 8 of them tried transferring the tickets to each of us as they flew in from New Jersey to see the concert and had a return flight home the day it was rescheduled for . Loran promised a refund would be given I received in a email I still have not received a refund . The box office here is horrible Chanel and Loran were horrible to speak with they would not help us all we wanted was to see a Christian concert which turned gangster fast .

    What a great venue! Well taken care of and tons of vendors for food and drinks. Came here to see the Black Crowes and enjoyed our seats and everything about this location.

    I always enjoy my time at the Amphitheatre and I especially appreciate how they always feature "smaller" or less mainstream artists! I was able to see Slowdive a couple days ago and the Amp was the perfect setting! The lighting display for the artists was on point and a great accompaniment. I've also been to other shows in the past where they have completely transformed the stage at the request of the artist; so they are great at curating a visually sound show! My only complaint would be the sound! The opener the other night was extremely hard to hear and was super washed out. I've been to a plethora of other shows where the sound was great so, I count this as a possible mistake. Other than that the staff is always so kind and helpful and I love how you get to enjoy being outside while still covered by a huge canopy! Overall, a great venue!

    The pit
    Erica C.

    Attended a few concerts here, always had a good time. Tips: Pull your tickets up in advance- wifi is not always the best at entry. Seating, not really a bad seat but expect the pit to be one layer folding chairs (so view depends who you're s sitting in front of you). Middle section is stadium style with cover and offers great seats across. Too is stadium bleachers style- no cover. Entry- Pretty easy if you purchase the on-site parking. Otherwise people can walk pretty far or have to take a shuttle from another lot. Staff- entrance and drinks, all great and nice. Tons of options to pick from and cash only and card only booths. Drinks- Doubles for about $21, on par or less with many places. Food offerings too- pretzels, chips, normal stadium food. Vendor booths- somewhat limited, so expect some lines. Sound- pretty good, clear and crisp. No complaints so far. They offer a wide variety of performers over the year, which is nice. Less crazy than a large stadium which is great as well- much easier to get in and out from. Will continue to attend concerts here for the variety and ease alone.

    Felt like we were deep in the woods somewhere.

    Ask the Community - St Augustine Amphitheatre

    What time does parking open for tomorrow night?

    Per the amphitheater website, The on-site parking lot opens two (2) hours prior to gates opening on event days.

    How tough is it to get an Uber after a show?

    It's not tough, but I wouldn't have them meet them at the amphitheater. I would have them meet you at the Park pls lodge next door

    Does this venue allow you to camp out?? How early would you arrive to a show to get front row/barricade?

    No they do not there's a camped out ground right behind look it up on Google maps

    Are there any hotels within walking distance of this venue ? If not, I am looking for recommendations of nearby hotels.

    There are hotels within 1 mile or so of that venue. Search hotels near St Aug Amphitheatre and you will find them. One that didn't appear in that search is a Hampton Inn- it may be greater than 1 mike but is on the island too.

    Is the pit seated or standing? Is there a section for both? Will we have a problem standing and dancing in the pit area?

    Depending on who is performing they do put assigned seats in the pit- so you would know. Most shows are GA pit and standing only. Of course you could also sit on the ground towards the back. The regular seated sections are good and there are really… Read more

It wasn't just brunch; it was an experience. The gorgeous presentation, homemade strawberry butter, warm berry compote, flavorful breakfast potatoes with peppers and onions, and all the little details made it one of those places you can't stop talking about. It left such an impression on us that years later, when planning another trip to St. Augustine, we specifically made sure Surfside Kitchen was on the itinerary. We were so excited to come back. Unfortunately, this visit was nothing like the one we remembered. The food wasn't bad, but it lacked everything that made Surfside special. The beautiful presentation was gone, the berry compote and strawberry butter had disappeared, the potatoes were plain, and the meal just felt... ordinary. The attention to detail and flavor that made this place stand out simply wasn't there. The highlight of our visit was our waitress Tiana, who was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. She was kind, attentive, and when we asked what had changed, she explained that the restaurant is under new ownership. That made everything make sense. This isn't written out of anger; it's disappointment. We came back because we remembered how special this place was, and we wanted to experience that again. Sadly, it feels like the Surfside Kitchen we fell in love with no longer exists. I truly wish the new owners the best, but I also hope they realize that people weren't just coming for chicken and waffles; they were coming for an experience. Unfortunately, that's what was missing this time.
