When was the last time you “hopped the ditch?”
Despite being one of Jacksonville’s greatest assets, visiting the Beaches is often an afterthought for Jax residents west of the Intracoastal.
The area, while technically not part of Jacksonville city limits, is not a whole lot further away than any other given destination in our impossibly-large city. And with so much to offer its visitors, it’s rather baffling why more of us don’t routinely take advantage of the Beaches.
To help provide some motivation, we’ve highlighted a few fun things to do out at the Beaches. So go ahead, plan a trip across the Intracoastal this weekend – you won’t regret it!
The Beaches have a large collection of diverse boutique shops. You can find these shops all over the Beaches, but the highest concentration of shops can be found in Atlantic Beach’s Beaches Town Center.
The Town Center, located at the eastern terminus of Atlantic Boulevard, features over a dozen small local shops along with several great eateries to visit after a day of shopping.
And for even more options, check out the mall’s North Beach Art Walk on the third Thursday of each month from 5:00 to 9:00 PM.
