Medium-sized marina with numerous boats in slips along a river, adjacent to a large surface parking lot with many visible vehicles and surrounded by residential structures.
Rivers Edge Marina is located in Saint Augustine, Florida, on the Atlantic Coast rather than the Gulf Coast, specifically along the Matanzas River, which flows into the Atlantic Ocean in northeastern Florida. This marina serves recreational boaters and sailors navigating the Intracoastal Waterway and the nearby coastal waters, offering access to both protected inland routes and open ocean sailing in the historic region of Saint Augustine.
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.
