On Atlantic Ocean

The Atlantic Ocean borders Florida's east coast. The public launches listed here run from Jacksonville in the northeast, through Key Biscayne near Miami, to Marathon in the Florida Keys. Huguenot Memorial Park, at 10980 Heckscher Drive in Jacksonville, sits on a peninsula next to the St. Johns River. At Key Biscayne, Crandon Park has a two-mile beach with an offshore sandbar that shifts with storms, squalls and currents. Off the middle Keys, the ocean lies within the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. More about Atlantic Ocean.
