Jacksonville Beach Homes for Sale | Jacksonville Realtor Tiffany Riley

“The Beaches” — Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach, and Atlantic Beach — sit along Florida’s Atlantic coast just north of Ponte Vedra Beach, and each has its own personality within a few miles of the others.

Jacksonville Beach (“Jax Beach”) is the laid-back, active hub of the three: miles of coastline, a newly designed public golf course, and a 1,300-foot fishing pier where you can watch dolphins roll in the waves. It has a genuine nightlife scene and a dense strip of oceanfront restaurants and bars, which is part of why it pulls both families and singles looking for that casual beach lifestyle. Housing here leans toward condos mixed with hotels, single-family homes, and high-rises along the oceanfront.

Neptune Beach and Atlantic Beach, just north, have more of a small-town, arts-scene feel. Beaches Town Center — the outdoor retail district sitting at the intersection of the two cities — is the shopping and dining anchor. Housing ranges from stylish condos to an eclectic mix of Cape Cod-style oceanfront homes and smaller bungalows. The Atlantic Beach Country Club adds a luxury 18-hole golf option to the mix.
