Things To Do
Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park
Come take a walk down scenic trails and dip your toes in the water! Right on the ocean, this 450-acre park has everything you may be looking for. Plan a day to relax on the pristine beach or fish and canoe on the freshwater pond. Hanna Park has over 20 miles of scenic trails that provide opportunities for hiking and biking along the shorelines or within the mature coastal hammock with majestic oaks. Wildlife includes shorebirds, wading birds, alligators, and foxes. Sea turtle nesting is May through October.
Huguenot Memorial Park
Here you will find a historic marker that commemorates the landing of the French Huguenots on May 1, 1562. While it is filled with history, nowadays it is home to the ultimate family day. You can reserve a pavilion or drive down onto the beach and barbecue for the day. Partake in some water sports. You can also do some primitive camping here.
Jacksonville Arboretum & Botanical Gardens
The Jacksonville Arboretum & Gardens is a 120-acre urban woodland full of trails for you to explore and enjoy. From the trailhead next to the parking lot, a stabilized walkway encircles a beautiful two-acre lake. This trail gently descends about 25 feet to the foot of the lake and then returns up a gentle slope on the opposite side to the trailhead. Interpretive signs and over 100 labeled plants enhance the loop. In addition, over three miles of rustic hiking trails wind quietly through a series of distinct ecological habitats.
