Jacksonville Beach: The Right Side of the Ditch User Rating 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 10, 2018) I’ve called Jacksonville Beach home for the majority of my life.

Of course, the beach itself is no sandbox, and there are many delicious food venues and entertainment options year-round. If you enjoy an active lifestyle, it’s nothing short on that either. Sure, living in Florida does mean hot temperatures for most of the year, but it’s definitely worth it in this paradise.
