St. Augustine News With a Bite

Watchdog reporting on the nation's oldest city — and the rest of St. Johns County.

THE ROAR REPORT is an independent local news outlet covering St. Augustine, Florida and the surrounding St. Johns County communities — St. Augustine Beach, Vilano Beach, Anastasia Island, Crescent Beach, Ponte Vedra, Hastings, and World Golf Village. We cover the same beats every St. Augustine paper covers — traffic, city hall, restaurants, schools, development, weird Facebook drama — but we write it like a fed-up resident who actually lives here.

The facts stay factual. The framing gets funny.
