St. Augustine Beach Blast Off 2014

Three Unique & Fun Ways to Spend New Year’s Eve

If you are like me and you want to escape the cold winter, feel that warm sun, and shed the many layers of northern winter clothing we’ve been stuck in for the past month then St. Augustine Beach Blast Off 2014 is the perfect place to celebrate NYE 2014.   Ring in the New Year right on Northeast Florida’s beaches.  You can share some great quality time with the kids while celebrating NYE on the beach.  When I was a child I remember many New Year’s spent with my parents.  Even though I am all grown up now I remember those times with a smile.

This year St. Augustine is doing their Beach Blast Off a little differently. Beach Blast Off has turned into a 2-day Block Party complete with a takeover of A1A Beach Blvd.  Throw in a Regional Chili Cook-off World Championship Qualifier, live music, kid’s zone, food vendors, fireworks and you have fun for the whole family.  Special 2-day kid’s zone wristbands can be purchased at St. Augustine Beach City Hall from December 2nd rate of $10 which includes unlimited access.  How much fun does that sound like!?
