Beach Blast Off is a great family fun event highlighting the best of St. Augustine located on St. Augustine Beach. This year was the 4th annual Fire & Ice Competition with local restaurants participating in a chili contest. There are vendors providing games for children, food and New Year’s Eve party favors, all topped off with awesome fireworks. The event is located at the local Pier at the Atlantic’s edge. The fireworks are displayed over the ocean from the far end of the pier.
We live in a magical place with miles of awesome beaches, centuries of history and oodles of diverse heritage. This event brings the magic close to the heart with the fireworks bursting out over the ocean’s crashing waves. The fireworks were choreographed to stirring music and all were inspired to ohhh and awe.
This year was a little challenging. Between the full moon and the high tide, there was no room for public viewing on the beach. The crowds watched from the dunes, the beach walk and the public park. Dogs were barking, children had their face painted, and lovers were holding hands.
All week long, rain had been predicted. Even the morning of the event, all indications were rain by noon to continue throughout the day. By 4:00, the start of the event, not a drop had been felt and even the full moon parted the clouds and the event went off without a weather hitch.
The Beach Blast Off is a fund raising event with the money raised going back to make this a greater community. We have helped with splash park, the Veteran’s Memorial, and now the pier grounds also. Come see for your self in 2010 or even better, plan to move here and be able to routinely experience all that we have to offer in St. Augustine.
