I loved hanging out in St. Augustine. Do they still let you drive and park on the beach? I know you can still drive on Talbot beach north of Mayport.

We moved from Jax in 1996 and the family lives in Atlantic Beach so that's where we hang out. Clark's Fish Camp in Mandarin used to be cool back then. I also like Fernandina Beach - The Palace Saloon is a classic bar and have a snack at the Ritz just to check out the property. Catch a concert at Freebird Cafe in Jax Bch. Pete's Bar is a good dive bar near the classier places in Atlantic Beach. Sometimes the Mayport Naval Station will have a ship available for public tours - call first. Do a couples spa at The Lodge in Ponte Vedra Beach. Use solo cups at the beach - cops are a little stricter than Louisiana.

Edit: Riverside is a great area. It was being gentrified as we were leaving. Great architecture and character.

Don't let you drive on the beach anymore in Anastasia park. A girl got run over a few years back. I used to work at the restaurant before it became freebird. Fernandina is great also. Riverside has transformed over the last 5 years very nice area again. Money has moved back in and driven the rift raft out. Jacksonville has come along way since the st.John's towncenter has moved in. Its not Tampa yet for the trendy lifestyle but it is getting there.
