It is a favorite for Beach, Nature, and Surfing Lovers, this region is home to undeveloped
beaches, great waves, mellow beach towns and the vibrant Jacksonville Beach, which
encompasses some 60 blocks along the Atlantic Ocean. You will find a pier, a boardwalk
and a concert pavilion, mainly playing jazz and blues. You can listen to it all through the
season. Amelia Island features miles of seashore, lined with soaring sea oat speckled
sand dunes and sprinkled with shark teeth and shells. Here you can visit Fort Clint State
Park, the northernmost Beach Park on Florida's Atlantic Coast, and the American Beach,
a historic site on Florida's Black Heritage Trail.


                                                                    Moving further east, Jacksonville features twenty
                                                                     miles of wide, beautiful beaches along the shores
                                                                     of the Atlantic Ocean. Swimming, wave riding,
                                                                     surfing, wind-surfing, surf fishing and sunning
                                                                     are popular at several Beaches in the coastal
                                                                     communities of Mayport. It’s Atlantic Beach, Nep-
                                                                     tune Beach and Jacksonville Beach. Jacksonville
                                                                     Beach has a 1,300 foot long fishing pier, which

                                                                     and a bait shop. The pier also has a restaurant
                                                                     and gift shop on its premises. Whether you’re in
