A family meal gets easier when the room gives the kids something to enjoy too. Around St. Augustine, that can mean sand under the table, music under a live oak, a breezy patio, or a marina outside.
Sand at the table and music under the oak
Beachcomber puts family tables in the sand at the foot of its own dune. Kids can play close by while the grown-ups enjoy an oceanfront meal. The Colonial Oak Music Park adds outdoor music beneath a live oak. Check the event listing because most shows are free but some need a ticket.
