Are you planning a trip to one of our Jacksonville Beach oceanfront rentals? You’re in for the vacation of a lifetime! There’s so much to see and do in this area, from the delicious dining options to the world-class shopping, fascinating history, and breathtaking nature. Of course, while you’re in the area, you’re going to want to spend some time on the stunning beaches! Jacksonville Beach itself is one of the most popular hangout spots in the area, and there’s no question why. Here’s everything you should know before you go!
About Jacksonville Beach
The city of Jacksonville has more than 20 miles of beaches for you to explore, so there’s always room for every group on the shoreline. There are four main beaches in Jacksonville, including Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Ponte Vedra Beach, and Jacksonville Beach. In this article, we’re going to focus on the latter.
What to Expect
When you come to Jacksonville Beach, you’ll find plenty of things to do. Of course, you can lay out a blanket or towel to relax and work on your tan, or you can jump in the water and splash around with your family. But the beach affords so much more opportunity for fun! You can indeed spend the entire day on the beach and never get bored.
There are some fantastic Jacksonville Beach water sport opportunities like surfing. Many beginners tend to head to Atlantic Beach, but Jacksonville Beach has great waves. If you still want to enjoy the water without being in it, maybe fishing is more your speed. Luckily, the Jacksonville Beach Pier is right here near the shore. You can try to catch a fish for yourself or watch others as they cast their lines. (You don’t need a fishing license here, either!)
If you want to take a little break from the beach, we highly recommend checking out the nearby Beaches Museum. This historic spot shows all kinds of fascinating exhibits and artwork about the area’s backstory and culture. It’s a great way to enhance your beach experience even while taking a break from the heat and the sunshine. Of course, there are also tons of shopping and dining options within walking distance from the beach.
There are a few things to keep in mind when you visit Jacksonville Beach. Dogs are allowed on the beach, as long as they are leashed. From April through September, dogs are not permitted between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. In the off-season, though, dogs are allowed at any time.
Access Points
Since Jacksonville Beach is so popular, there are tons of access points to walk onto the sand. You’ll be able to find an access point at most street ends on First Street along the nearly four-mile stretch of shoreline. Not every access point has restrooms or showers, but it shouldn’t take you long to find a nearby point with these facilities.
When you arrive at Jacksonville Beach, you’re going to need a place to park. Luckily, there is plenty of convenient parking at nearly any access point along First Street. You’ll also find on-street parking options on Second and Third Streets. These parking options are free, but as such, they tend to fill up rather quickly. You can find paid parking near the Jacksonville Beach Pier.
