Mayport Ferry-Mayport Landing — Attraction in Jacksonville

Only regularly operating ferry in Florida so I'd say it's worth a ride! I always use it when driving Jacksonville-Amelia Island because it's a small time saver and I don't mind paying the extra few bucks to sit back and drift across the river as opposed to going up 95 the whole way.

If you read this review, would you please give me a thumbs...
