Just over 13 nautical miles from the Mayport jetties, are several long ledges known as the Rabbit’s Lair. Depths in this area average 70 feet with some ledges reaching up 10 feet from the bottom. The natural ledge structure generally runs north to south with an eastern line and a western line. The eastern ledge is known for its 10-foot height and many undercuts.

Nearby are the wrecks of a steel barge, a minesweeper and a wooden tug boat which draw game fish and other marine life to this area. Huge pieces of limestone also line the area providing protection to the sea life.

Navigation at this site is straightforward and visibility generally ranges between 50 and 100 feet. The GPS coordinates provided are for a high section of the ledge. The steel barge is at N 30 32.041 W 81 09.699.
