I'm a native S. Floridian and never seen residential lawn grass that's not St. Augustine. Looks like that to me. I've otherwise seen zoysia & Bermuda on golf courses & hotel landscape but it's definitely neither of those. Growing a lawn in S. FL., on a nutrient poor sand substrate, has to be one of the most difficult horticultural challenges.

Thank you @MaypopLaurel.
I’m thinking it’s St. Augustine too. Wanted to confirm if anyone can identify.
Used apps but they are giving only 20-40% confidence

It's unfortunate that it's the only practical choice in S. Fl. Growing up I recall the tank truck spraying for chinch bugs & fertilizing several times a year, the annual truckloads of loam dumped and spread and sprinklers running three days a week. Despite that the entire lawn was ripped out every five years and resodded because it gets patchy. It's so course I didn't understand how people walked barefoot on grass until I experienced more northern lawns. Thankfully more people are zeroscaping.
