peaceful, unspoiled What more is there to say. Lot of the real Florida has been preserved. People are going to forget what Florida once looked like, if we don't hold on to nature such as this. More

After seeing that this was rated the #1 thing to do while in Jacksonville we thought we would give it a try, although some may find it to be a good time we did not. Theres a long beach with sand and that is about it, you can find this all over without a fee. It was peaceful so i'll... More
