Map

The town of Marineland was established in 1940,[1] and is in both Flagler and St. Johns counties, Florida, United States. Marineland is located 18 miles (29 km) south of St. Augustine along Route A1A. The population was 15 in the 2020 census.

The Marineland marine park and the town have become synonymous, however many do not realize that Marineland is a town in its own right. Like all proper municipalities, Marineland has its own local governing body complete with a mayor and city council board that meets monthly to discuss the town's affairs. The town shares a ZIP Code with St. Augustine Beach.

The Flagler County portion of Marineland is part of the Deltona–Daytona Beach–Ormond Beach, FL metropolitan statistical area, while the St. Johns County portion is part of the Jacksonville Metropolitan Statistical Area.
