Jacksonville Beach
Jacksonville Beach is a fun place for kids to play. There are tiny pools in the sand at the water's edge where kids can play endlessly. What a blast! When the sun sets, these shallow rivers of water at the shoreline glow in the light, making the beach that much prettier.
The beach has soft white sand near the dunes, and hard-packed sand at the shoreline. Yellow daisies sometimes grow on the dunes. The dunes are very healthy and abundant.
A strange thing about this beach is that instead of sea gulls, there is a different species of bird that is very noisy, constantly shouting to each other! It can frazzle you a bit.
There's a fun atmosphere at this beach, though, with people strolling along the shore, laying on the soft sand, and coming out to enjoy the sunset and sunrise.
Many attractive, modern hotels line the beach, making it nicer than the space coast where everything is still 1950s-style.
For yummy mild pizza, check out Milano's Italian Restaurant on 3rd St (see address below).
A fantastic place to go, eight minutes drive away, is Southern Grounds Coffee Shop, with its sheltered courtyard between two buildings. It has an extensive breakfast menu, counter service, and lots of young people. This part of Neptune Beach town, Beaches Town Center, has a bookstore, cute modern pastel-colored buildings, and palm trees galore.
Another fun thing to do nearby is visit Jacksonville Zoo, which is a tropical wonderland. It is 38 minutes drive away to the northwest.
23 minutes drive inland, check out the awesome chain restaurant with live steel drum music, Bahama Breeze!
