Explore the Waterways
From the glistening St. Johns River to the Intracoastal Waterway to the Atlantic Ocean, Jacksonville is a city bound by aquatic resources. Drive to the St. Johns River, and get aboard the St. Johns River Ferry - it's one of the only remaining car ferries in Florida. You will be on your way to a visit of Fort George Island. If you'd rather park and explore nature a little closer to the action, you can venture on an eco-kayak tour, cast a line inshore or offshore, or just enjoy the beauty of the beach - while relaxing in a lounge chair.

Take a Swing
Jacksonville is in Florida after all, so of course there are plenty of opportunities for the state’s favorite pastime - golf! The championship 18-hole course, Windsor Parke Golf Club, and the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass in nearby Ponte Vedra Beach both offer travelers a unique experience on the green. Go right over to the Stadium Course, where you can test your golfing limits. Ranked as the No.1 "Best Course You Can Play in the State of Florida" by Golfweek magazine, the Stadium Course is best known for its 17th hole, which sits on an island.
