The St. Johns County Council on Aging is gearing up to provide some weekend relief for beachgoers this summer. In a move that's sure to garner applause from the community, the council plans to roll out a free shuttle service to Vilano Beach. This service kicks off on Saturday and is looking to run until July 27, offering a bit of weekend reprieve from those eager to dig their toes into the sand without the stress of parking.
For locals and tourists alike, the designated shuttle will operate every weekend, making the commute from downtown St. Augustine to the sunny stretches of Vilano Beach a breeze. As reported by the St. Johns County website, the shuttle will make its rounds from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., connecting the St. Johns County Health and Human Services Building and the Sunshine Bus stop by the Vilano Beach Town Center Publix. Having accessibility at its core, the service is both ambulatory and ADA-compliant.
The shuttle schedule published on the St. Johns County website, is handy for those planning their beach outings in advance. With an array of dates spanning from late June through July—specifically the weekends of June 21 and 22, June 28 and 29, the holiday weekend of July 4, 5, and 6, following through July 12 and 13, culminating with July 19 and 20, and ending on July 26 and 27—beach lovers have ample opportunity to use this free service.
