BREVARD COUNTY • PORT ST. JOHN, FLORIDA – The Port St. John Boat Ramp located at 6650 North Cocoa Boulevard will reopen on Wednesday, May 8.

The facilities at the Port St John boat ramp features two lanes and courtesy docks and sits on 1.17 acres along the Indian River in Port St. John.

Fishing on the shoreline along with wildlife viewing are two main activities at this location.

In addition to the ramp, there is ADA parking and a parking lot which can accommodate 30 vehicles with trailers.
