- Visiting Jacksonville
More than 20 miles of wide, white sandy beaches skirt the Atlantic Ocean just a dozen miles from downtown Jacksonville. The Northeast Florida coastal communities of Mayport, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach and Jacksonville Beach offer great vacations for families and friends who seek cool ocean breezes, salt spray waves, or just the chance to relax and enjoy great seaside restaurants, nightlife and shopping.
Indeed, on the beaches of Northeast Florida there is something for everyone to do, including sightseeing, sunbathing, surfing, fishing, boating, biking, dancing, golf, tennis and countless other outdoor recreation opportunities.
The River City by the Sea has something to offer everyone. Visitors can also enjoy unique shopping and dining, lively nightlife and entertainment, and events, a riverfront festival marketplace and cruises on the St. Johns River. Our affordable hotel accommodations and Southern hospitality make any visitor feel right at home.
