Trails & Tours
Jacksonville's parks and nature preserves offer miles of scenic trails. Hiking trails wind through shaded and beachside areas and offer scenic views of waterways and marshes.
Deep Sea Diving
Jacksonville is home to more than 100 artificial reefs with hundreds of colorful species of marine life off our Atlantic Coast shore. The extensive reef system, a diverse array of marine life, and affordable diving rates make Jax one of the best diving destinations on Florida’s East Coast.
Fish like cobia, tarpon, and grouper as well as several large shark species can be spotted off our shores. Our artificial reefs are perfect for a fishing expedition or a diving journey to explore the corals and sponges.
Jacksonville’s reefs are located along the continental shelf, an underwater landmass resulting in moderately shallow water known as shelf sea, spanning more than 40 miles wide off the coast.
