Boat Access & Navigable Water Homes in St. Johns County
64 homes · 5 new this week · updated 16 minutes ago
Every listing below carries a navigable-water, ocean-access, or river-access designation in the MLS — the Intracoastal and the Tolomato–Matanzas river system that runs the county’s whole coast, from the Palm Valley docks in Ponte Vedra down through St. Augustine’s bayfront to Crescent Beach. Community ponds and lakes don’t qualify here.
Boater’s truth for this county: the Intracoastal is the highway, the inlets are the on-ramps — St. Augustine Inlet is the county’s main pass to the Atlantic — and dock rights, depth at low tide, and bridge clearances decide what your waterfront is actually worth. I run those questions on every navigable-water home my buyers consider.

Frequently asked questions
Where are the boating neighborhoods in St. Johns County?
The Palm Valley stretch of the Intracoastal in Ponte Vedra carries the classic dock-behind-the-house inventory; Roscoe Boulevard is its marquee address. South of there, the Tolomato riverfront runs past Palencia toward St. Augustine, the bayfront and Salt Run around the historic city offer some of the coast’s most storied moorings, and Crescent Beach puts docks on the Matanzas.
What does the St. Augustine Inlet mean for a boat buyer?
It’s the county’s main pass to the Atlantic — which makes run-time-to-inlet a real pricing variable on navigable water here. It’s also a shifting, shoaling inlet that demands local knowledge and current charts; plenty of owners day-cruise the Intracoastal for years and treat the ocean pass as a weather-window decision. Know your boat, know the pass.
What should I verify before buying a home with a dock?
Air draft and any fixed bridges on your route, the dock’s permit history, recorded riparian rights, depth at low tide, and the flood and wind insurance picture — navigable water usually raises it, and every listing on this site shows its FEMA flood zone. I run the full navigability checklist before my buyers offer.
