Jacksonville
Jacksonville area, which has a population of more than 1,000,000 residents, covers 841 square miles. That makes it the largest physical city in the United States. Another interesting fact about the city is that it has the largest urban park system in the United States. There are many areas for recreation and outdoor activities and it also contain very beautiful scenery. During your visit to Jacksonville Florida FL you will wish to see the many museums that the city offers and also enjoy as much nightlife as you can. When you visit Jacksonville you are up for some great beach days to enjoy the sunshine and the festivities and wealth of water sports are available in the area.
Jacksonville has three beach towns, which are pleasant enough and have fine beaches but more or less blend together. Immediately to the south is Ponte Vedra Beach, where many golf and tennis stars live and where the TPC at Sawgrass golf tournament is played each year. One-day memberships to the Sawgrass course are available, but only deeply committed golf fans will want to pony up the roughly $300 it takes to purchase one. The somewhat less committed golf fans will want to head for the World Golf Village, just off I-95 between Jacksonville and St. Augustine. Several challenging courses and the World Golf Hall of Fame are here, as well as an entertainment complex that includes an IMAX theatre.
