- The Beaches
- Beginning in the north at the mouth of the
St. Johns River, there sits Mayport once a bustling fishing village now home to over
14,000 military and civilian who work at the Mayport Naval Base. Mayport still has
the charm of an old fishing village and features many fresh seafood restaurants. The only
ferryboat in Florida makes numerous runs carrying cars and passengers across the river
between Mayport and Heckscher Drive. If it's gambling you like, a cruise ship
featuring dining and a number of Casino games departs from Mayport daily. Deep-sea
charter boats are available for deep-sea fishing.
Atlantic Beach is home to the beautiful Selva Marina Country Club and Fleet Landing. a
lakefront retirement community whose residents are primarily retired professionals from
the military services and government, their spouses and widows. Where Neptune and
Atlantic beaches meet and is known as "The Corner" by many locals. This
area is renowned for the popular restaurants, including a brewery and entertainment spots
that residents love to frequent.
Neptune Beach has many similar attributes as Atlantic Beach. Many of the oceanfront
homes lining the beach are rented to summer visitors, causing the normal population of
about 7600 to more than double. The closer the homes are to the beach will dictate
the price of the home. Much of the businesses are centered along 3rd St. three
blocks from the oceans edge with homes or rentals to the east or west.
Jacksonville Beach is the oldest, and with a population of more than 20,000, it is the
largest of all Jacksonville's beaches. It has the greatest mix of residential, commercial,
retail and industrial areas than the other beaches areas.
