Two public boat ramps serve St. Augustine South, and the county's own FAQ says the Doug Crane ramp floods in ordinary heavy rain. There is no water gauge at either one, so the only way to know before you hitch up is a neighbour who has just been there. Tap a ramp to say how it is right now.

Doug Crane
1039 Shore Drive, at the north end. One lane, about 50 parking spaces, a table and a portable restroom. This is the ramp the county's FAQ says floods in ordinary heavy rain; the county has tied the fix to retention-pond work at the park.
No reports yet
Moultrie Creek (Shore Drive)
4805 Shore Drive, at the south end on Moultrie Creek. One lane, about 15 parking spaces. The county's boat-ramp page calls it Moultrie Creek and the county map calls it Shore Drive Boat Ramp — same ramp.
These are neighbours, not the county — nothing reported here reaches anyone who can open, close or repair a ramp. Hours, closures and repairs come from the parks department: St. Johns County Parks & Recreation — The county owns both ramps and is the only place a closure or a repair can come from. It does not publish ramp hours or fees, so nothing here states them.Report a hazard: (904) 209-0333
How this works
Each report counts for about 12 hours, then drops off on its own. A ramp shows once at least 1 recent report is in; when several are in we show the middle one, so a single voice can’t swing it.
These are neighbours, not a gauge and not the county. Nothing reported here reaches anyone who can open, close or repair a ramp. Worth knowing: the tide table on this site is an astronomical prediction, and the nearest gauge that actually measures water was removed in 2008 — neither one can tell you whether the ramp is under water after a heavy rain. That is the whole reason this board exists.
