Jacksonville Beach

Discover northeast Florida’s best-kept secret, Jacksonville Beach. Tucked away on a barrier island east of Jacksonville on Florida’s famous A1A, you’ll find miles of un-crowded white sandy beaches and lots to do. With the Intracoastal Waterway, St. Johns River and the Atlantic Ocean to choose from Jacksonville Beach offers lots of opportunities whether you are a fisherman, a golfer, or a family looking for good clean fun.

Jacksonville Beach offers some of the best sport fishing, boating and water sport opportunities in the country. Play in the ocean, walk or collect seashells along the beach, or stroll along the Sea Walk and watch for porpoise year-round or the northern right-whales that winter off our coast. At the Sea Walk Pavilion, you’ll find concerts or festivals nearly every weekend from April through October.

Jacksonville Beach is also known for its many great restaurants. Enjoy Florida's finest seafood, local specialties, or ethnic cuisine. Dine on the oceanfront or along the Intracoastal Waterway and top off the evening with live music and entertainment at our local nightspots.

Get into the swing of things at our 18-hole municipal golf course, nearby daily fee courses or play a famous resort course such as Sawgrass or TPC. The Beaches area is home to more than 20 golf courses maintained year-round. Explore the new International Golf Hall of Fame and International Golf Library at the nearby World Golf Village.

If shopping is your idea of fun, our art galleries and antique shops will keep you busy. If history is your interest, then the northeast corner of Florida offers much to explore. Known as America’s First Coast, A1A takes you along the shores first discovered by Ponce de Leon from Amelia Island to St. Augustine.

Whether you are on a family vacation or on a business trip, Jacksonville Beach is a great place to anchor your stay. Only minutes away from Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Kennedy Space Center, or Orlando, Jacksonville Beach is chock full of fantastic fun.
