Jacksonville\u2019s outdoor hidden gems<\/span><\/h2>\n

Home to the most extensive urban park system in the U.S., Jacksonville has something for any outdoor enthusiast. Here you’ll find 80,000 acres of parks and world-class beaches. The most popular beaches include <\/span>Atlantic Beach<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Neptune Beach<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Jacksonville Beach<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>Ponte Vedra Beach<\/span><\/a>. However, if you\u2019re looking for something a bit more low-key and unique, stray away and try these other local favorites. Grab your sunscreen and get ready to start exploring the city’s favorite outdoor spaces.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For a picturesque lesser-known location, try Driftwood Beach<\/span><\/h3>\n

Tiffany, a local Jacksonville photographer of <\/span>Hype Girl Boudoir<\/span><\/a> recommends Driftwood Beach on Big Talbot Island. \u201cThis is one of our absolute favorite places to photograph,\u201d says Tiffany. \u201cYou take a beautiful walking trail down to the beach, and the scenery there is like no other. Massive driftwood, almost skeletal-looking trees cover the coastline, making you feel like you’re in another world.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tabitha Baldwin<\/span><\/a>, another local photographer, agrees, \u201cThe beach is full of big beautiful trees spread across the sand and picturesque black rocks along the shore. One of my most requested locations for local portrait sessions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

For the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets, head to Amelia Island<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201cThe true definition of a hidden gem is Amelia Island, Florida, which natives refer to as Fernandina Beach,\u201d says <\/span>Coast One Tours<\/span><\/a>, a black historical touring company. \u201cAmelia Island is located NE of Jacksonville on the Atlantic Ocean shores. The island is known for having the friendliest people around, where visitors and Natives can enjoy the rich African American culture of American Beach.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLooking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city? Jacksonville Beach, located a short drive from the city, is filled with unique and historic beach houses dotted along the coastal shore.\u201d Says Nancy from <\/span>Florida Rental By Owners<\/span><\/a>, a vacation rental company in Jacksonville. \u201cThese affordable Jacksonville vacation beach houses are close to the pier, local festivals, shops, and restaurants.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Head over to the Metropolitan Park & Marina for all kinds of entertainment<\/span><\/h3>\n

PierShare<\/span><\/a>, a local Jacksonville company where you can rent boat docks, recommends the Metropolitan Park and Marina. \u201cLocated next to the home base of the NFL’s Jaguars, TIAA Bank Field, Metropolitan Park and Marina is a hidden gem in downtown Jacksonville. The 32-acre multi-purpose park has picnic space, playgrounds, bicycle racks, an exhibition area for craft shows, and a concert pavilion.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Hidden gems in Jacksonville for the foodies\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

For a romantic date, head to Ruth’s Chris Steak House<\/span><\/h3>\n

Rani Garner<\/span><\/a>, a local painter, suggests to \u201cHave drinks at the bar, even if steak is not your thing, and then go outside for the most breathtaking city view. Downtown Jax and all its bridges are lit up, reflected in the water, and a short stroll along the Riverfront will lead you to colorful fountains.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

For great food and entertainment, try Jazzy’s Restaurant & Lounge<\/span><\/h3>\n

Like much of Jacksonville, the King Street District in the <\/span>Riverside neighborhood<\/span><\/a>\u00a0 is pretension-free and welcoming. Justin from <\/span>BarGlance<\/span><\/a>, a local company that shows you the best bars in town, says, \u201cIt’s rare to find a place with great food and entertainment, but <\/span>Jazzy’s Restaurant & Lounge<\/span><\/a> in the heart of King Street has managed to pull it off. Make sure you try the fried lobster tail and the pineapple bread pudding. I promise you won’t regret it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Need to satisfy your sweet tooth? Opt for Cookies and Cream<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201c<\/span>Cookies and Cream<\/span><\/a> is our favorite go-to date night spot.\u201d says <\/span>Tonya Beaver<\/span><\/a>, a local in Jacksonville. \u201cThey are local beach owned and operated and they have gluten-free cookies as well as dairy-free ice cream options.

Have a chill night and try the Flamingo in the historic district<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201cNestled in the historic neighborhood of <\/span>Murray Hill<\/span><\/a>, just a couple miles southwest of downtown Jacksonville is one of our favorite spots, The Flamingo,\u201d says Lauren from <\/span>We Are The Bowsers<\/span><\/a>, a local photography, and videography company. \u201cWith its ultra-chill vibe, exposed brick walls, and high ceilings, it’s a great spot to pop in and grab a delicious iced latte or hang out with friends while enjoying a pint of craft beer or a glass of wine.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Spice up your night and head to Indochine for some curry<\/span><\/h3>\n

Tifanie from <\/span>Whisper Photo Co.<\/span><\/a> shares, \u201cWe love the chill atmosphere of Indochine<\/a>. It’s right down the road from our studio, which makes it perfect for a quick lunch break since the service is always fast. Not only do they serve the most delicious food, but we have always been so welcomed there. Their curry crab rangoons and yellow chicken curry are my personal favorites, and my business partner is wholeheartedly obsessed with their spring rolls.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
