Fees and Reservations

There are no fees to enter the park or to take the ferry to the fort. The 35-passenger ferry operates on a first come basis. Donations are gratefully accepted and are used for boat maintenance and interpretive programming. St. Johns County, which maintains a beach ramp directly across Highway A1A from the park entrance, charges a fee to drive onto the ocean beach from mid-March through September.
