From the city’s extensive park system, to its beautiful 22 miles of white-sandy beaches, to award-winning craft breweries, historic neighborhoods and countless unique eco-adventures, Jacksonville in Northeast Florida is the perfect destination for a warm getaway this winter. Be sure to stop in one of our Visitor Centers to print up some free maps and brochures, and find more fun things to do here.

Dining & Nightlife

Take the Ale Trail – Before or after a game, the Jax Ale Trail unites craft breweries around the city, many of them centered in Downtown and the surrounding historic neighborhoods. Breweries on the Ale Trail include Aardwolf Brewery, Engine 15 Brewing Company, Intuition Ale Works, Bold City, Green Room, and Pinglehead Brewing. Check out all of the breweries and get your passport stamped to turn in to receive Ale Trail swag.

Revel in the Nightlife – The Elbow is a collection of bars, venues, restaurants and shops radiating from the corner of Ocean and Bay Street in the heart of downtown Jacksonville. Sip craft cocktails at Dos Gatos or grab a cold beer and hang out on the open-air patio at Burrito Gallery.

Catch Downtown Views from a Rooftop Bar - From trendy microbreweries in historic neighborhoods, to beachfront rooftops that let you take in Jacksonville’s coast and river regions, to some just-opened nightlife hotspots that still have that “new bar smell,” delight in delicious food and tasty cocktails at one of our rooftop bars.

Wine and Dine in Historic Neighborhoods – Visit 5 Points to watch cult classics at Sun-Ray Cinemas or enjoy the view from the rooftop lounge at Black Sheep, serving hand-crafted cocktails, made from local ingredients. Venture out the Shoppes of Avondale where you can hear live music at The Brick while enjoying modern American cuisine at this neighborhood hotspot.

Turn it Up at a Show - Jacksonville's VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena hosts concerts, sporting events and other theatrics, and it’s all next door to TIAA Bank Field. Visitors can also catch popular musical acts, comedians and other performance artists at the historic Florida Theatre in the heart of downtown. For indie and local bands, head to Jack Rabbits and Underbelly, located in Jacksonville’s historic downtown and San Marco districts.

Sports

Tee Off – Bring your clubs and hit the greens at one of 72 public and private courses. Rates are affordable and great deals are offered in the fall when the weather is ideal for a day on the greens.
