The best Florida destination for discovering the outdoors, enjoying active eco-adventures, and being surrounded by nature is
Jacksonville. Perfectly located in Northeast Florida along the Atlantic Ocean, it is a natural paradise for travelers seeking an
inexpensive and comfortable destination.
Flights to Jacksonville, Florida, usually land at
Jacksonville International Airport, a civil-military hub owned by the Jacksonville Aviation Authority. It is located about 13 miles north of Jacksonville city center.
“Jax”, as locals call it, is perfectly located in Northeast Florida, just a quick trip away from most of the Southeast and on the intersection of I-95 and I-10. Take an unforgettable road trip to an
affordable and exciting waterfront destination.
The '
River City by the Sea' boasts more than 20 miles of wide and uncrowded beaches, close to 40 miles of the tranquil Intracoastal Waterway canal, and the longest stretch of the beautiful St. Johns River. It combines
both relaxation and family adventures. Jacksonville hosts a large
list of activities to do, such as an extensive park system, world-class fishing, historic neighborhoods, eclectic museums, vibrant street art scene, creative coastal cuisine, delicious craft beer and so much more!
There are recently constructed houses in a
traditional southern style in the downtown that create a social environment and are surrounded by mature trees that offer shade for those humid summer days. Along the Current River that runs through the area, there are
three downtown parks, including Wilson Bay, Riverwalk, and Willingham Parks.
Several outdoor events, including Oktoberfest, National Night Out, Winterfest, and Fresh River Splash, are housed in Riverwalk Park.
Jacksonville Landing is where the locals go to launch a
boat, kayak, or canoe to enjoy the scenery on the water or fish it's healthy waters. The health of the New River is monitored regularly by the City's Stormwater division as well as the New River Foundation.
