The experience
Everything you need for the perfect family getaway.
You're looking for the classic Florida beach vacation — days spent building sandcastles, afternoons lounging by a private pool, and evenings with a family BBQ on the patio. Whether you're traveling as an immediate family or bringing the grandparents along, space and convenience come first.
The Beaches — Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach and Atlantic Beach — share a wide, hard-packed beach that handles bikes, wagons and long morning walks. The Jacksonville Beach Pier is free to walk, and Fletcher Park just north of it has restrooms and showers.
