The Nocatee Parkway will not only offer easy transportation for those who live in Nocatee, but will provide much improved traffic flow and hurricane evacuation for the beaches area.

One of the most important components to the Nocatee plan is the protection of the environment. Of the approximate 15,000 acres within Nocatee, over 9,000 acres will be placed into preservation.

The Nocatee Preserve consists of 2,400 acres of pristine waterfront property located along 3 ½ miles of the Intracoastal Waterway. This conservation land was recently donated to St. Johns County for its long term protection. The preserve may be used for limited passive recreation opportunities such as hiking and biking trails.
