You'll find all watersports and beachside amenities fully operational, and there are often outdoor concerts and events happening along the coast.For those seeking a slightly more tranquil yet still wonderfully warm experience, late spring, specifically May, is an excellent alternative. Temperatures average around 27°C, which is still fantastic for beach activities but with a more relaxed atmosphere.
What beach activities should we do in Jacksonville?
The best beach activities in Jacksonville revolve around its extensive coastline, particularly in areas like Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach, and Atlantic Beach.Jacksonville Beach is the most popular and offers a wide range of activities. You'll find surfing lessons available for all skill levels, with the waves here being generally manageable for beginners. The Jacksonville Beach Pier is a central landmark, great for a stroll or fishing.

It's a great spot for cycling along the beachfront promenade or simply relaxing on the sand. The area around Atlantic Boulevard and First Street in Neptune Beach has a good selection of casual eateries and shops, making it a convenient base for a beach day.Atlantic Beach, further north, offers a more upscale atmosphere with boutique shops and restaurants concentrated around the Atlantic Beach Town Centre. It's an excellent choice for couples looking for a pleasant beach day followed by a nice meal. The beach itself is wide and less crowded than Jacksonville Beach, offering a peaceful setting for sunbathing or long walks.For families, all three beaches offer plenty of space for building sandcastles and playing in the surf. Jacksonville Beach, with its pier and easy access to shops and restaurants, is particularly convenient for families with children.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Jacksonville as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Jacksonville for you.
