St. Augustine Beach is great!! But, I would go for more than a day because of the Old City and the Outlet Malls. They also have a lot of great restaurants both on the beach and in the Old City.

Sand at St Augustine if much different than sand at Ormond Beach.
ALWAYS take TWO >> 3 to 5 gallon buckets with you .
Simply dunk buckets to fill with water and put the water on the sand in
front of direction you wants your tires to go.
Most wrecker services have you PAY in Advance so you don't feel bad when
they wet the sand for you and then simply have you drive away.
It is NOT easy to get stuck on Ormond Beach Sand.
VERY EASY to walk on Ormond Beach.
Remember, before the Speedway was built, this is the Northeast turn where the Original Beach Races were held .
There is a Park at A1A and Granada (40) to commemorate the Beach Races.
You can park in the shopping center across the street to access the Park and Beach, if you do not wish to park on beach.
( East end of lot , East of Starbucks)
Ormond Beach has clearly marked traffic lanes.
