I was talking to my wife about possibly switching coasts in Florida.
My big argument is east coast surf fishing, which we really enjoy.
That place could be another.

Jax is featureless. Miles and miles of mobile home parks,
subdivisions, military bases and the bars that accompany them.

They do have s nice waterfront park where you can go sit and eat your
bagged lunch, if you must be in downtown Jacksonville. Tourists might
visit the brewery and then move on down to St. Augustine to do some
dining, sight seeing, and shopping.

Jacksonville has some of the prettiest, uncrowded ocean beaches in
Florida, from practically the Georgia border down past St. Augustine.

Uncrowded beaches???????? You are full of **** as usual!!

Here's a pic of Jacksonville Beach:

That's besides the whole beachfront for miles and miles is nothing but
condos.

Same way with Amelia Island, Fernandina is a disaster, Atlantic Beach
Neptune, Ponte Verde, etc. all about the same. Jacksonville is the
fourth largest metro area in Florida, but hey, according to Harry,
none of them must go to the beaches!
Oh, and according to Harry, the weather is better in Jax than other
Florida cities to the south. BUT, alas, the average temp in July and
Aug is one degree different than Tampa!
