"This place is really cool. I had no idea the El Faro had anything to do with Jacksonville. A very tragic story but nice park here. Very clean and well taken care of. Great fishing spot too."
"A beautiful and fitting memorial for those who perished in El Faro in 2015. Very nice views of the river as well. There is restroom access and plenty of parking once you find the memorial, and a colony of feral cats is there to greet you. Unfortunately, the remote location has allowed for some defacement of the lighthouse statue."
"Very nice, calm and clean spot that is an acceptable memorial to the ship and crew of the El Faro. Small pier for fishing. Memorial wreaths set up very tastefully. They may benefit from some additional signage indicating the way to the memorial. It’s very much worth the time to visit."
"Nice quiet setting on the river. A nice memorial to the crew of the El Faro."
