Port Saint John Public Boat Ramp

Port St. John Public Boat Ramp offers convenient access to the Indian River Lagoon in Brevard County, located near the Fay Boulevard and U.S. 1 intersection. The facility features a 2-lane boat ramp and spans approximately 1.17 acres, making it a straightforward option for launching smaller vessels. The site also includes shoreline fishing access, providing opportunities for anglers as well as paddlers.

This location is well-positioned for kayakers and canoeists exploring the Indian River Lagoon's calm, shallow waters. Nearby paddlers can access the pristine habitat areas of Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge and St. Johns National Wildlife Refuge, both offering excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing and scenic paddling. The Indian River Lagoon is known for its relatively flat, protected waters, making it suitable for paddlers of varying skill levels.

Before launching, note that the area has limited amenities directly at the ramp itself compared to some neighboring access points like Pollak Park. For those planning to paddle in the broader system, be aware of bridge clearances when traveling to nearby areas via connecting waterways.
