The Mickler family has been a significant presence in St. Johns County since the 1820s, originally residing in an area known as Palm Valley. In the 1930s, the Mickler family, with the help of several Palm Valley residents, built a 600-foot pier near the modern-day park. This pier served as a popular spot for fishing and recreation.
In the 1960s, the Mickler family sold the land to the St. Johns County Parks and Recreation Department, which developed it into a public beach access point. The park was named in honor of the Mickler family, reflecting their longstanding connection to the area.
Today, Mickler’s Landing Beachfront Park remains a beloved destination, offering visitors a glimpse into the region’s rich history and natural beauty.
