This southern section of Anastasia Island, the Crescent Beach Region is scattered with shops, restaurants, and places to stay from State Road 206 to the Matanzas National Park on the island’s southern tip. Bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and by the Intracoastal Waterway to the west, the Crescent Beach Region provides both sandy beaches and freshwater fishing, boating, and kayaking.
The area is also home to the much beloved iconic Florida fish camp, Genung's Fish Camp, that has been in operation since 1948. The Crescent Beach Region begins 10 miles from the Plaza de la Constitución in Historic Downtown.
