Welcome to the Naval Station Mayport page. We are one of three major Navy installations in the Jacksonville area. Navy!
At Mayport, we sustain and enhance warfighter readiness by providing support to the Fleet, Sailors and military families. We are the “Finest Service to the Finest Fleet.”
Since its commissioning in December 1942, Naval Station Mayport has grown to become the third largest Fleet Concentration Area in the continental United States. Mayport’s operational composition is unique, with an active basin c
apable of accommodating up to 34 ships and an 8,000-foot runway that can handle any aircraft in the Department of War inventory. With more than 3,400 acres, the Naval Station is host to more than 80 tenant commands, including 20+ Navy ships, Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadrons (HSM) 40, 48 and 50, and the Navy's first unmanned UAS squadron, VUP-19. The base is situated at the mouth of the St. Johns River and the Atlantic Ocean near the small fishing village of Mayport, Florida, and neighboring Atlantic Beach, Florida. The warm climate here makes it ideal for year-round outdoor recreation, including boating, camping, fishing and water sports. Although Jacksonville has nearly 1 million residents, including 225,000 with Navy affiliation, the population is spread over a large geographic area, providing ample residential areas. Checking-In:
Temporary base visitor passes are issued at the Pass and ID (AKA Pass and Decal) office in the security building just before the main gate. The installation quarterdeck is in Naval Station Mayport Headquarters Building 1 (on Massey Avenue across from Navy Federal Credit Union). Personnel with PCS orders to Naval Station Mayport should report there on arrival. Those reporting to a tenant command should report to that command’s quarterdeck. Personnel ordered to a ship should report directly to their ship, if in port. If the ship is not in port, check in with Naval Station Mayport's quarterdeck at Bldg 1 for assistance. You must be in uniform when checking-in. The service dress blue uniform is universally accepted as a travel uniform and may be worn at check-in, regardless of season. Ombudsman Assistance:
Naval Station Mayport Ombudsman can be reached at (904) 563-1251 or at [email protected].

🌀🌧️ READY OR NOT…HURRICANE SEASON IS HERE
📅 June 1 – November 30
⚠️Hurricane Season has officially arrived. NOW is the time to make sure you and your family are prepared! Being ready isn't just a checklist. It takes deliberate action and planning.
✅ Make a Plan
📍📞Discuss evacuation routes, emergency contacts, and communication methods with your family. Know where to go and how to reconnect if separated.
✅ Build a Kit
Stock up on essentials:
💧Water (1 gallon per person per day)
🥫Non-perishable food for 3+ days
💊Medications & first aid supplies
🔦🔋Flashlights, batteries, and portable chargers
📁Important documents in a waterproof container
✅ Stay Informed
📱Download weather and emergency alert apps, such as JaxReady
✅ Prep Your Property
🌴🛠️Trim trees, secure outdoor items, clean gutters, and check for leaks. A few small actions now can prevent BIG problems later.
✅ Fuel Up & Charge Up
⛽🔌Keep your vehicle at least half full of gas and charge power banks ahead of time. You never know when the power might go out.
⚓️ Service Members: Check with your chain of command about local base policies, muster procedures, and evacuation policies.
🗣️ Talk to your neighbors and Shipmates. Preparedness is a community effort. We’re stronger as ONE TEAM!
⌛️Don’t delay. Prepare today!!

⚠️Hanna Park gate access update!
📋On a trial basis from now until Aug. 3rd, Seminole Gate access is open to certain eligible personnel without a Hanna Park sticker.
⚓️This trial is designed to prioritize the gate’s usage by our active-duty Warfighters.
🏞️For additional context, Hanna Park is a Florida State Park who has been kind enough to help us alleviate Mayport’s morning traffic by letting us drive through their grounds to get to the Seminole Gate. If you use it, DO NOT SPEED and obey all traffic signs.
⏰Gate hours are Monday-Friday 0600 to 0800.
See graphic for additional details.
