A quaint coastal community

Neptune Beach was built in the 1890s with plans for “a city by the sea” that slowly evolved into about 70 cottages by the 1930s. After seceding from the city of Jacksonville, the neighborhood evolved into the tight-knit beachside haven it is today. “It’s a very active community,” says Sarah Rocco of The Rocco Group, a Jacksonville-based Real Estate company. “You’ll see a lot of residents on rollerblades, bikes and out jogging or surfing.” Neptune Beach residents enjoy a relaxed atmosphere with quaint houses close to the sandy beaches. Bordered by Atlantic Beach, the area is tucked between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean.

Butterfly gardens and island preserves

Jarboe Park on Florida Boulevard, which received a makeover in the past few years, offers pickleball courts, new playground equipment and a lake. New development added plenty of trees to the park, shielding visitors from the hot Florida sun. Take a walk in the butterfly garden or visit the lake to see ducks, turtles or fish. For an outdoor adventure, one of the most popular places to explore is Castaway Island Preserve located about 5 miles away from Neptune Beach. With 300 acres of marshland and tidal streams, the fully accessible, raised wood walkway is perfect for hiking and exploring.

Outdoor shopping on the beach

The sprawling outdoor mall, the Beaches Town Center is shared by Atlantic and Neptune beaches. With over 40 different shops, boutiques and eateries, the area is recognized as one of the prime shopping destinations in all of northeast Florida. For dog owners, the BrewHound Dog Park & Bar is a must-visit. Situated along the East Coast Greenway recreation trail, which stretches from Maine to Key West, this establishment offers more than just a place for dogs to play off-leash. It features a concession stand serving delicious food and refreshing drinks, allowing both humans and their furry companions to enjoy a delightful outing together. Please note that an entrance fee is required, and memberships are also available for those who frequent the park regularly.

I've lived in Neptune Beach my entire life, and it's the perfect place to have grown up. Bring a short walk or drive to the beach, as well as a short drive to downtown and shopping areas, you never run out of things to do. This cozy beach town has so much charm, and you'll feel at home in no time. There's also a ton of night life as well.
