Coastal charm in North Beach

Tucked away from the bustle of Jacksonville's urban core, the coastal suburban neighborhood of North Beach is a well-established part of the city's rich maritime history. The Intercoastal Waterway sits to the west, the Atlantic Ocean cradles the east and the Saint Johns River lies to the north. The community's oceanfront location has been a key factor in sustaining the local economy for over 150 years, with waterways supporting a thriving fishing and boating industry and providing fresh seafood to restaurants. “Jacksonville Beach is a main draw of this area,” says Jacksonville-based real estate agent Artie Cox. “It’s only a few miles away. Jax Beach is where all of the action happens. They host music festivals; they have great food and a great nightlife scene.” Navy planes can often be seen (and heard) flying overhead due to the Mayport naval base, located approximately 3 miles from the neighborhood.

Modern townhomes and charming retro homes

Newer builds, like the townhomes in the Atlantic Preserve subdivision, were built as recently as 2022. Streets are lined with moss-draped trees and most front yards are grassy and well-kept.

Hike at the oceanfront Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park

There’s no shortage of local parks in North Beach. Situated to the east beside a serene 60-acre freshwater lake, Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park spans an impressive 450 acres. This park is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, offering opportunities for canoeing and kayaking on the lake and surfing on the waves along the 1.5-mile shoreline. Wildlife such as wading birds, alligators, and foxes call this park home. Kids can enjoy the Splash Park, over 300 camping sites, and the option to rent outdoor equipment. The park also boasts over 20 miles of scenic trails, ideal for exploring the natural beauty of the area. The southwest corridor of North Beach holds Dutton Island Preserve, a 36-acre conservation space operated in a joint effort by the city of Jacksonville and Atlantic Beach. Dutton Island hosts miles of hiking trails, kayak launch sites and marshy fishing locations. Modesky Park and Mayport Waterfront Park are smaller public neighborhood spaces to enjoy the North Beach landscape. Helen Cooper Floyd Park has long offered a small fishing pier and docks for locals to dock boats near the St. Johns River and Chicopit Bay.
