A City With Something For Everyone

Fancy a city break that is also a beach holiday and a trip through the beautiful countryside? Well, Jacksonville, Florida might just be the right place for you. With twenty-two miles of beaches, two national parks, seven state parks, forty miles of the Intracoastal Waterway, and the longest river in Florida, Jacksonville is a city that’s also a nature lovers paradise.

So what can I do there?

Warm and sunny even in winter, you’ll definitely be able to get outside and enjoy this city. Why not make the most of this outdoor paradise by trying some of the many sports on offer. Swim, fish, surf, kayak, scuba dive, or sail on one of the many waterways. Or stick to dry land and enjoy one of the seventy golf courses, or hike and bike your way through the miles of trails. More of a spectator? Watch one of the many football or baseball games going on in this town.

What if I’m not outdoorsy?

Explore Jacksonville’s many neighborhoods instead and find the one that perfectly suits you. Looking for history? Art? Culture? Somewhere to shop? Somewhere to party after dark? Jacksonville’s got the spot for you.

Drink your way around the city on one of the ale trails that explore the city’s craft breweries. Stop for food and enjoy Jacksonville’s eclectic mixture of southern flavors fused with Spanish influences and plenty of fresh seafood. Or time your visit to take in one of this city’s many regular music festivals. Whether you’re into rock, jazz, blues, classical, or something else entirely, Jacksonville has got the venue, event, and festival for you!
