📍 Destination Overview
Jacksonville, Florida's largest city by area, lies at the mouth of the St. Johns River and is called Florida's least Floridian city. Jacksonville Beach offers about 30 km of Atlantic sand, while the naval air station brings a strong military culture. The Cummer Museum and riverfront parks reveal a river-and-sea metropolis, the heart of northern Florida's coastal life.
