Mayport Ferry Ride

If you are following the coastal highway north of Jacksonville you currently have the opportunity to take a ride on the Mayport Ferry http://www.stjohnsriverferry.com/.  The car ferry, which dates back to 1948, connects the village of Mayport to Fort George Island.  As you ride across and down the river you get a great view of historic Mayport.  Locals claim the Mayport Shrimp are the best available and are caught free swimming just offshore.   The experience is very well organized with a friendly crew and numerous crossings to keep you on your way.  Budget cuts threaten the future of this experience so enjoy it now if you have the opportunity.

Anastasia Island's New Park

We have a new park on Anastasia Island!  The park is called Ocean Hammock Park Walkway and is located on Beach A1A just north of the Publix complex.  You can park your vehicle in the new parking lot and walk through the hammock, across the dune, and onto the beach.  A very cool way to get some exercise especially if you decide to walk a few miles down the beach.  You may ask why they named the park a hammock if it was intended as a way to get exercise.  The other meaning for hammock is "a fertile area in southern United States and especially Florida that is usually higher than its surroundings and is characterized by hardwood vegetation".   A walk through the trees to get to the beach.
