Ok beach

Arrived in jacksonville during winter so the beach was pretty quiet. Brown sand and ok water. Not 1 of the best, but probably ok for a tan during summer

Soo many places to see and visit

Atlantic beach is on my top 5 list for great beaches, never overly crowded with many many places to stop for a bite or do a little shopping.

Standard East Coast Beach

With the hot Summer days of Jacksonville upon us, this is certainly a great place to go to cool off. Nice beach town with some fun breweries and restaurans, plenty of things to do.

We enjoyed this beach

Great beach. We stayed at One Ocean and entered the beach there. The beach was active at sunrise on a Friday with people riding bikes, walking/playing with their dogs, paddle boarding, yoga, fishing and swimming. It is a nice deep beach with a lifeguard station...More

Kimiko D

I'm coming back from a cruise at 8 AM but my flight leave at around 6 pm. Didn't want to keep my kiddos in an airport for hours so looking for alternatives. Is this beach closest to the port? Any other entertainment suggestions?

Answer

Hey Kim, are you going through the Jacksonville airport? If so I would suggest the Cummer Museum, Atlantic Beach or The Jacksonville zoo. Have you considered any of these?
