The beach was beautiful, good access from the town centre and not too many people on the beach. What a great place to relax! The town is charming with nice little shops and restaurants.

We headed down to the beach my sister-in-law and kids in tow. We drove around for a bit because of course beach parking is a pain in the butt.

Atlantic beach is the best beach town in Jacksonville! Lots of restaurants, bars, and shopping in the town center. Locally owned coffee shop (Lillies) and book store (The Book Mark). Atlantic beach itself is a great, family friendly public beach.

Almost devoid of people during the week days. Great locals willing to advise about where to eat and how to get there
