Experience a fascinating combination of adventure, history and natural beauty at Timucuan Ecological & Historical Preserve (officially Timucuan Ecological and Historical Preserve and Fort Caroline National Memorial). Explore unspoiled areas of Atlantic Ocean beaches, hardwood forests, sand dunes and saltwater marshes. Learn about clashes between indigenous people, European settlers and enslaved Africans at heritage sites. Within Timucuan Ecological & Historical Preserve you can visit two important landmarks. Take a self-guided audio tour of Kingsley Plantation, founded in the 1800s by an English slave trader and shipping tycoon. Hear the stories of the plantation’s owners and laborers as you look around buildings such as the plantation house and the primitive slave cabins. Go to Fort Caroline to find exhibits about France’s occupation of Florida in the 16th century and the conflict between the French and Native Americans. Get insight into the connection between humans and Florida’s environment at the Where the Water Meets exposition. Appreciate the preserve’s magnificent natural setting via outdoor pursuits. Follow the trails once traversed by Timucuan Indians and retrace the routes walked by slaves on their way to the plantations. Hike along the banks of meandering creeks and rivers. Kayak on the calm water of St. Johns River. Visit American Beach, famous for its huge sand dune and for being established in 1935 as a beach resort exclusively for African-Americans. Spot some 200 bird species and marvel at the varied ecosystems at Cedar Point. Hike through hardwood forest and around wetlands in the 600-acre (242-hectare) Theodore Roosevelt Area. The preserve is located within the city boundaries of Jacksonville and along its northeast coastline. There are parking lots at Fort Caroline and Kingsley Plantation. Camping is available at nearby Little Talbot Island State Park and Huguenot Memorial Park. Timucuan Ecological & Historical Preserve is open year-round and admission is free.

(2,552 reviews) Excellent stay — exceeded expectations Excellent hotel experience from start to finish. The hot tub was truly hot, very clean, and perfectly maintained. The pool was warm, not crowded, and relaxing — great temperature all around. Even the partial ocean view was gorgeous, with upscale vibes and beautiful scenery. Breakfast was top-notch with a wide variety of choices, including delicious pastries I’ve honestly never seen at a hotel at this price point. Coffee was excellent too — not the usual weak hotel coffee. The hotel felt upscale yet very reasonably priced, especially considering the location and amenities. There’s a nice restaurant downstairs, open late, with live music, which was a great bonus. Super convenient and close to the beach, shopping, and everything you need. Parking was easy and convenient. It is paid parking, but honestly worth it for how smooth and accessible it was. The staff was great — friendly, professional, and helpful. Rooms were very clean, with fresh towels, clean floors, and quiet surroundings. The balconies were clean, and the hotel overall felt calm and well-managed. Loved the large smart TV — easy to use with Netflix, Amazon, YouTube, and more. Everything worked perfectly. Overall, everything was amazing. This is one of those stays where you feel like you got more than what you paid for. Would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it.
