"What is wrong with too many of us is we never get to spend any time in places like Palatka anymore."
We’re Just Down The Road…
A place of striking natural beauty, where the majestic St. Johns Rivers serves as the backdrop for sailboats at sunrise resting on glistening water, framed by a canopy of live oaks and Spanish moss. Somehow, it rests in the center of everything…yet miles away. Less than 75 miles from Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Daytona Beach, and Gainesville; Palatka is closer than you think.
Small Town. Big Heart.
Palatka is a historic Florida city, established in 1821, that proudly showcases its past. With Historic homes and districts to tour, you can experience Old Florida charm at its finest.
It’s Our Nature.
Palatka may be called the Gem of the St. Johns, but the St. Johns is also the Gem of Palatka. Our vast waterways are ready for exploration for bass fishermen, kayaking or leisurely boating. More than 22 trails connect the community for bikers and walkers alike. End your day with a twilight round of golf at one of the most historic public courses in Florida – Donald Ross designed, Palatka Golf Club.
