Jacksonville makes up most of Duval County, and it’s the largest city by area in the entire country. It’s filled with things to do, places to go, and top employers. Jacksonville is the anchor of the First Coast region and provides everything from art attractions to professional sporting events.
Jacksonville Beach is the largest of the three beach cities found in Duval County. It offers plenty of beachfront areas to enjoy with many public beaches and a pier.
Atlantic Beach is found north of Neptune Beach and offers another excellent beach community. Neptune Beach is located between Jacksonville Beach and Atlantic Beach. This community offers plenty of dining options and amazing hotels.
The Beaches are often referred to as one community, but they are three independent communities in Duval County. All three offer a bit of a different environment along the Atlantic Ocean.
