Jacksonville Beach

SURF, WATER SPORTS & NIGHTLIFE

With its thriving, laid-back beach culture and miles of gorgeous, white coastline, Jacksonville Beach in Florida is a popular recreation destination for visitors and locals alike. Rent jet skis to race over turquoise waters, refresh with a morning swim, or sink into an afternoon of sunbathing and relaxation. As the beach's gentle surf crashes over the call of far-off seagulls, let your stress float away over the horizon of this uncrowded, four-mile stretch of Florida coastline. From our hotel, fishing enthusiasts can easily walk to the historic Jacksonville Beach Fishing Pier to drop a line. The exciting cultural festivals in the area, such as the Art Walk, are perfect activities for couples, solo travelers, and families.
