Vilano Beach is like being tucked away in a tiny beach town. Coquina sand and a near-shore break make it popular with surfers and kite boarders as well as sunseekers. This was the beach that guests of Henry Flagler's Ponce de Leon Hotel went to in the late 1800's. Today, shark teeth "hunters" report this area of beach is best for their hobby.

Ponte Vedra Beach is the beach most northeast of St. Augustine. Mickler’s Landing is the most popular access point for visitors to this beach and the best spot to look for shark’s teeth.
