Trips to Jacksonville Beach are sure to be full of fun in the sun. After all, there are miles upon miles of shoreline to check out in this area! But when you head to the beach, you don’t just have to sit on the shoreline or swim in the water to have a good time. While you’re staying at one of our ocean view Jacksonville Beach rentals, consider getting involved in some fantastic Jacksonville Beach water sports! There’s sure to be something to suit every interest. Here are a few of our favorite activities!
Fishing Charters
One of the best ways to experience the waters of Jacksonville Beach is by embarking on a fishing charter. Whether you consider yourself an experienced angler or you’ve never been fishing on the open waters before, a fishing charter is a great way to get out there and cast your line. This can be a particularly appealing option if you’re traveling with a group. You don’t have to rent your boat, and your captain can help guide you to the best spots to catch a fish or two.
Jacksonville Beach has many fishing charter companies to choose from, and it’s hard to go wrong no matter which one you select. We recommend trying Rocketman Charters or Rock-N-Reel Charters to experience Jacksonville Beaches waters first hand!
Surfing
You don’t have to make a trip to California or Hawaii to learn how to surf! The surfing conditions in Jacksonville Beach are incredible for both beginners and advanced surfers. This is one experience you’re sure to remember! Atlantic Beach is considered the best spot for beginners, but you can learn to surf anywhere along the shoreline. You can work with a local company for a lesson, or you can rent your equipment from a local shop and hit the water on your own!
You can rent equipment from Jax Beach Surf Shop or get a lesson from the knowledgeable staff at Jax Surf and Paddle. Be sure to also check out Saltwater Cowgirls for a fun beginner or advanced surfing camp option.
Jet Skis
If you’ve got an adrenaline junkie in your group, you might consider hitting the Intracoastal waterway on a jet ski! This is by far one of the most popular Jacksonville Beach water sports, and it’s not surprising why. The waters are wonderful, and the waves are perfect for navigating on a jet ski. You can rent your jet ski and hit the waters wherever you please; keep in mind that most companies have age restrictions as far as who can rent.
Legends Jet Ski Rentals is one of the most popular places to rent your equipment and hit the water fast. You can also turn to other trusted companies such as Jax Jet Ski Rentals, Palm Valley Jet Ski, Salty Sun Sports, and Cheapskate Adventures.
Intercoastal Boat Tours
If you want a more relaxing way to enjoy the beautiful nature of the area, head out on an intercoastal boat tour! These tours are family-friendly and offer an excellent way for the entire group to enjoy themselves out on the water. Your tour guide will take you near some of the most beautiful areas that Jacksonville Beach offers while also educating you about the fascinating history of the area and the stunning wildlife you see along the way. If you want a beautiful experience, see if you can get a tour around sunset!
Jacksonville Dolphin and Alligator Tours is a great company to work with, particularly if you’re interested in seeing and learning about local marine life. Crazy Fish Airboat Tours, Palm Valley ICW Tours, Kraken CycleBoats, Now and Zen Sailing Charters, and the Jacksonville Boat Club are just a few more local companies you can choose to work with.
Or check out the local boat launch areas if you brought your own boat! Some of our favorites include Oak Harbor, Mayport Boat Ramp, Beach Marine, and Palm Valley. Check them out on your own or with the family.
