Jacksonville Beach is an oceanfront city in Duval County and the most active of the Jacksonville Beaches communities. People come for its wide beach, the Jacksonville Beach Pier, surfing and outdoor concerts and festivals at the SeaWalk Pavilion.
Where is Jacksonville Beach?
Jacksonville Beach sits on the Atlantic south of Neptune Beach and north of Ponte Vedra Beach, about 15 miles east of downtown Jacksonville. Beach Boulevard (US 90) and J. Turner Butler Boulevard (SR 202) are the main routes from the city, crossing the Intracoastal Waterway, and A1A runs along the coast. Jacksonville International (JAX) is about 35 to 40 minutes away.
Things to do in Jacksonville Beach
The beach itself is the draw, with walkover access along the length of town and lifeguarded areas near the center during the summer season. The Jacksonville Beach Pier is popular for fishing and for watching surfers on either side. Next to it, the SeaWalk Pavilion hosts free concerts, holiday events and festivals on the oceanfront. The center of town is the most crowded, so head north or south for more room on the sand. Spring through fall is beach season, and on summer weekends and holidays, parking near the pier fills by late morning.
