Medium marina with multiple docks and slips along a river, featuring a medium-sized surface parking lot adjacent to buildings and surrounded by vegetation and a road.
Jim King Marina is located in Jacksonville, Florida, along the banks of the St. Johns River, which flows into the Atlantic Ocean, placing it in the northeastern part of the state rather than the Gulf Coast. This marina serves recreational boating and sailing enthusiasts in the region, providing access to the river's navigable waters and the nearby Atlantic coastal areas. As part of Jacksonville's urban landscape, it caters to boaters exploring the dynamic interplay of riverine and oceanic environments in this Atlantic coastal setting.
Marinas typically need to separate slip holder parking from day-visitor parking, trailer areas, launch ramps, and secure dock access points. Modern facilities use barrier gate systems to enforce these zones automatically — allowing permitted vehicles through via transponder or keycard while logging all access events.
