PONTE VEDRA BEACH

With streets and traffic patterns established in the 1600s , St . Augustine is fascinating for pedestrians , but often frustrating for drivers — especially when looking for a parking space . Much of that frustration can be relieved by heading over to the Historic Downtown Parking Facility , a beautifully designed and thoroughly modern facility featuring 1,200 parking spaces . Open 24 hours per day , the facility charges a fee of $ 12 per entry . The parking facility is adjacent to the main Visitor Information Center ( VIC ) and within easy walking distance of most historic sites . Plus , horse-drawn carriages and sightseeing trains and trolleys are readily available here . Self-service , automated parking kiosks provide convenient payment for on-street metered parking and in city parking lots . Metered parking is $ 1.50 per hour with a three-hour limit on the street and four-hour limit in city lots . Metered parking is also available at the Castillo de San Marcos . The good news is that metered parking is free after 5 p . m . and all day on Sunday . Overnight parking for RVs , tour buses and trailers is available on Riberia Street behind the Parking Facility . Permits are $ 26.50 ( tax included ) per night and are available at the Parking Facility . From March 1 though Labor Day , beachgoers can park on the beach at Vilano Beach or St . Augustine Beach to Matanzas Inlet for $ 7 per day . At other times of the year , beach parking is free but shifting sand and high tides can make it treacherous . Parking information for St . Augustine is available by calling 904.825.1000 .
