What could be better than a cool drink in hand, strolling the beachfront and listening to the sweet pings of steel drums? Head over to the Jacksonville Caribbean Carnival each September and you'll feel transported to the islands. Enjoy great music, food, crafts and entertainment at this festival.
You don't want to skip this one. Kelly Seahorse Ranch will take you on a short trail ride from the ranch taking you directly out to ride miles of beach along the park's pristine Atlantic shore on Amelia Island.
Don't miss Jacksonville's premier public golf course, the Bent Creek Golf Course. Exciting play is practically built in, thanks to the plush fairways with creeks and swales alongside. Besides the par 71 course, you'll also find a practice area, golf shop and restaurant.
Go on a human powered adventure with Kayak Amelia, Jacksonville's premier kayak rental company that also offers guided tours and recreation adventures for every taste. Go on a Full Moon Paddle, Simpson Creek Marsh Paddle or a Bar Hopping Kayak Tour.
