North Beach - St. Augustine

We have a reservation for North Beach during March for spring break. We're not sure if we should stay an entire week or just four days. We're kind of concerned that we'll run out of things to do and kids will get bored. We stayed in a hotel in St. Augustine a couple of years ago and did many of the tourist things (jail, ghost tour, trolley tour, etc). Is the fishing at the campground piers good? Is there bike trails nearby?

Thanks for your input.

    what re3ally pi***ed us off, was they made us go un hook the car from the mh to go thru the gate while it was pouring "cats and dogs" rain, but they let 5th wheelers and trailers drive thru. i won't go back.

    It's also a short drive down to Daytona to check out the race track and take the riding tour. I'd be careful about biking in St. Augustine though.

    The Segway tour makes for an interesting few hours.... fun and you get to see a lot.
    I don't remember anyone fishing at the pier on the intercostal side. Over on the ocean side there were several people fishing the surf.

    We lived in St. Augustine and never ran out of things to do or places to eat.
    Drive on the beach, visit the fort, Ripley's museum, walk down St. George St. There are numerous things to keep you occupied. Golf, fishing, bike riding downtown or on the beach, etc.
    Enjoy your stay.

    I'm not sure about bike trails at St. Augustine, but last year we rode some nice paved trails in the Flagler Beach area. That is not too far south of St. A. Google should provide more info.

    Bored in St Augustine after 4 days? no way.... We stayed there for 2 weeks last year in January. Weather was okay but still lots to do.
    Nice beaches, great town, nice city/state parks with a light house, nice quaint cafes. The bay was great to kayak around and lots of good fishing. If you get bored - then do day trips, Jacksonville, Emelia Island, Cape Canaveral, Daytona.....
