is a thriving port town and one of the Southeast's
major cultural, commercial, industrial and

a wealth of attractions and recreational
opportunities. A prominent waterfront gives
convenient access to boat cruises, riverfront
boardwalks, fish camps, and offshore fishing.

Ponte Verda. Other points of interest include:
Jacksonville Landing, a waterfront marketplace
with unique shops and restaurants; the Jacksonville
Zoological Gardens; Adventure Landing amusement
park; plus a number of local museums and
historical sites. And don't forget, the
golden sand of Jacksonville Beach is just
a short drive away. |
