NAS Jacksonville lists the Yorktown Gate as its around-the-clock entry point. Other gates may close at night, and visitor access rules remain in effect at all times. For questions, call 904-542-8338.

Gate Access to Remember

Do not assume every gate on the installation is open at night. Keep the listed contact number handy, bring valid identification and allow extra time if you need visitor processing. Security conditions can change gate hours without much notice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which gate should I use late at night?

Use the confirmed 24-hour gate listed in the table unless the installation posts a temporary change or security notice.

Does a 24-hour gate mean the public can enter at any time?

No. The gate can be staffed all day while normal installation access rules still apply. Visitors may need approved identification, a pass or sponsorship.

Is the Visitor Control Center also open 24 hours?

Usually not. Visitor-center schedules are separate from gate schedules, so check visitor processing hours if you need a new pass.
