Cancellation station is located in the gift shop on A1A on Anastasia Island. You can view the fort from there, but the free ferry ride to Rattlesnake Island and visitation to the fort is great.

Fort Matanzas was built in 1740 and only took two years to constuct!!! It was built by Spain to ward off British attacks of St. Augustine from the rear. There is a free ferry ride to the island and no fee to get to the National Monument. Well worth a pleasant boat ride to claim your cancellation stamp.
