Location

Atlantic Beach, Florida
Atlantic Beach, Florida is located east of Jacksonville, south of Amelia Island, north of Ponte Vedra, and just minutes from Jacksonville Beach. Atlantic Beach is the quintessential Florida beach community feel with a vibrant dining and nightlife scene, fun beach dive bars, boutique resorts and friendly family atmosphere. You'll find miles of casual beaches, excellent golf, parks plus everything the nearby city of Jacksonville has to offer. Atlantic Beach offers a rich cultural history and is the site of what many experts believe was the first year-round Native American settlement in North America while Jacksonville is the ideal destination to discover Florida’s and America's history while experiencing unique places with French, Spanish, Native American and African American history. Be sure to visit Hannah Park, a magnet for surfers, beachcombers, campers and bicyclists along Atlantic Beach's northern border, a place that keeps a bit of Old Florida alive. In addition to numerous parks and beach access points, there is also a two-mile paddle trail in the Dutton Island, Riverbranch and Tideview Preserves (400 acres of marshlands) on the intracoastal waterway to explore.

Atlantic Beach Town Center is home to a number of restaurants and bars, authentic shopping, and entertainment to occupy your time. Connecting the border between Atlantic and Neptune Beach, you’ll find the eclectic Beaches Town Center with boutiques filled with unique clothing and trinkets as well as many restaurants. If golf is your hobby, don't miss your chance to play on the same greens as PGA Professionals at TPC Sawgrass or, make your way to the redesigned Jax Beach Golf Club for a laid back experience. If you need even more, nearby Jacksonville offers activities for all ages and interests. Explore historic sites, attend a sports event, or visit world-class museums. The Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens is one of the most visited attractions in Northeast Florida and one of the top 25 zoos in the nation. Kona Skate Park is the oldest operating skate park in the world and lessons are available for all skill levels. Jacksonville’s beaches are family-friendly with dozens of activities for the entire family including paddle boarding, kayaking and fishing. As an added bonus, Jacksonville’s food scene is an eclectic hybrid of inspired casual elegance and classic southern comfort. Fresh seafood, southern and island flavors, local ingredients and decorated chefs all come together in Jacksonville to create an innovative and delicious food scene unlike anywhere else in Florida.
