The last public auto Ferry in Florida

The last public auto Ferry in Florida is part of the scenic route A1A on the east coast of Florida. A1A is a must see when you are in Florida! The St John’s or Mayport Ferry transports cars, pedestrians & of course Old School motorcycles across the St. Johns River between the coastal Jacksonville neighborhoods of Mayport Village and Ft. George Island. I was headed home on A1A & not looking forward to going into Jacksonville to get across the St John’s. I saw the green A1A Ferry sign, I have been here before, stopped at the convince store across the street for a drink. Finished my drink went to get in line as I heard the very loud whistle of the Jean Ribault, built in 1996, 40 vehicles, 206 passengers, went & got in line. There seemed to be a mix of locals who said they use the Jean Ribault all the time as a time saver & tourists who say the sign & decided to give it a try. If you find yourself on A1A around Jacksonville and are looking for a scenic shortcut or just a break from driving try the St John’s or Mayport Ferry Cars-$5.00 Motorcycles-$3.00.
