Go Ahead, Examine the Jacksonville Area

The Northeast Corner of Florida might sound like kind of a lonely place in comparison to the crazy Keys or the emerald Panhandle, but if you stop to take a look you’ll find that there’s actually a lot to love.

So if Underrated is an adjective that gets you moving, the Jacksonville Area might be It. Pick out a vacation condo, beach house or apartment and make yourself at home in this land of leisure; it might take some getting used to but you’ll soon be embracing the lifestyle of a true loafer.

Not that heart-pumping activities aren’t readily available; wind surfing, scuba diving, surfing, fishing and horseback riding will be calling your name, but there are just as many low-key diversions, too. Floating, strolling, shopping and bird watching will let you properly unwind, so no matter what mood you find yourself in, there’s a perfect path to take.

Mild winters and hot summers will also suit just about everyone, and it’s a fact that this region has seen less hurricane activity than most other locales along the Atlantic. A sprinkling of fishing villages, the Jacksonville Zoo, art museums, ferries that run to nearby Amelia Island, proximity to historic St. Augustine and a host of other day trips/excursions/exploration options also come as part of this package.

Now is the time to start testing your developing theory that this little corner of the Sunshine State is worth your time. It’ll be a fun experiment, so get moving.
