Visit Jacksonville and the Beaches - 2016 - 2017

في هذه القضية

It’s difficult to fi nd Jacksonville visitors who don’t happily use the word “surprised” or the phrase, “I didn’t know” to describe their experience here. Who could blame them? Jacksonville is a natural water wonderland fi lled with exciting sites and new experiences to discover and enjoy—so many that it could take a lifetime to see them all. The downtown, with miles of walking paths along both shores of the majestic St. Johns River, is a place where the past and present mingle between unique shopping and dining hot spots. Musical entertainment for every taste and big-time sports for every fanatic are easy to fi nd. The warm climate is great for enjoying the area’s relaxing Atlantic beaches or for getting active in our year-round great weather. Try playing golf at one of more than 70 courses, hiking, biking, fi shing, kayaking, paddle boarding or just watching the ebb and fl ow of the tides. History is here, too—6,000 years worth. From the original natives whose story is told at the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve, to the origins of European settlement in America at Fort Caroline, through the American Colonial experience at Kingsley Plantation and to the African-American struggle for equality—it’s all here to educate, entertain and inspire.
