Mickler’s Landing Beachfront Park

Mickler’s Landing Beachfront Park is a St. Johns County beach park on Ponte Vedra Boulevard. It sits on the southern end of Ponte Vedra Beach, just north of the GTM Research Reserve. A wooden walkway crosses sand dunes about 20 feet tall and leads to a beach of pink coquina sand.

Mickler's Landing

How the park got its name

Say it “MIKE-lers.” The Mickler family was prominent in St. Johns County starting in the 1820s. In the 1930s the family built a 600-foot pier at this spot. The county parks department later bought the land from the family in the 1960s.
