Information About

Jacksonville Beaches




Three Incorporated towns are included in the Jacksonville Beaches, they are Jacksonville Beach itself, Neptune Beach and Atlantic Beach . All three maintain their own municipal governments, but have been part of the City Of Jacksonville since the governments of Duval County and Jacksonville were consolidated in 1968 . The communities range from Mayport , home of Mayport Naval Station , to the north of Atlantic Beach, to Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida and Palm Valley , south of Jacksonville Beach in St. Johns County. Communities on San Pablo Island closer to St. Augustine are generally not included. Recently, neighborhoods on the west side of the Intracoastal have been considered part of the Jacksonville Beaches.

The Beaches, one of Jacksonville's most popular attractions, are one of the most obvious centers of "beach" culture in Jacksonville.
