Scenic Jacksonville teamed up with the Mayport Waterfront Partnership for Scenic Visions 2025: Spotlight on Mayport Village.

Guests enjoyed a behind-the-scenes look at our historic working waterfront, with stops at the Coast Guard Station, Marine Science Center, and of course, the St. Johns River Lighthouse.
