Salt Run Mooring Field

Mile Marker: 777
Lat / Lon: N 29° 53.309' / W 081° 17.103'
Description: Reached by following the private channel markers of the Conch House Marina and Resort. Once past the marina, you will see the mooring fields (north and south). The two mooring areas have a total of 80 moorings. Both have a pump-out boat and dinghy dock. If you want to have access to the city of St. Augustine, Salt Run is a poor choice because of the distance to the city. It would be a very long dinghy ride and a very long walk just to get there. This area is used primarily for long-term mooring.

NOTE: Per Florida Statute 327.4109

The owner or operator of a vessel or floating structure may not anchor or moor such that the nearest approach of the anchored or moored vessel or floating structure is:
1. Within 150 feet of any marina, boat ramp, boatyard, or other vessel launching or loading facility;
2. Within 300 feet of a superyacht repair facility. For purposes of this subparagraph, the term "superyacht repair facility" means a facility that services or repairs a yacht with a water line of 120 feet or more in length; or
3. Within 100 feet outward from the marked boundary of a public mooring field or a lesser distance if approved by the commission upon request of a local government within which the mooring field is located. The commission may adopt rules to implement this subparagraph.

This is a great protected anchorage/mooring field. It is only a short ride to downtown.

Close to the ocean, but well protected by a barrier island, Anastasia State Park. Not very deep at low tide, even the municipal (City of St. Augustine) mooring field is about 4’ deep at low tide. Restaurant and hotels are about 1 mile away, and many more if you can walk 2 miles. There is a nice dinghy dock that the public can tie up to for an hour at most during the busy part of the day, and maybe a couple hours in the evening. The lighthouse park has restrooms and picnic benches under shady oak trees. But no showers here.
