Find cheap flights to Jacksonville (JAX), United States

More than 20 miles of beaches line Jacksonville’s Atlantic shores, providing plenty of room for the city’s beachfront resorts, boardwalks and attractions to spread out. This results in a more natural looking coastline and less crowded beaches, allowing for more relaxing days of swimming, tanning and water sports. The wide St. Johns River runs through the center of Jacksonville and is fed into by numerous creeks, so there are also plenty of freshwater venues for boating, fishing or even wakeboarding.

Jacksonville is a golf lover’s paradise with its more than 70 courses, some of which were designed by famed course architects like Tom Fazio, Arnold Palmer and Pete Dye. The PGA’s Players Championship is held annually in nearby Ponte Vedra Beach, and the World Golf Hall of Fame is located just 35 minutes south of Downtown Jacksonville in St. Augustine. Some of the best hotels in Jacksonville are part of the city’s championship golf resorts.

Though it’s tempting to spend all your days outdoors while in Jacksonville, don’t let the sunny weather keep you away from MOCA Jacksonville, one of the largest contemporary art museums in the region, or the Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens, which houses several ancient art pieces inside a beautifully landscaped waterfront Tudor mansion. Other notable tourist attractions include the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens, and the Museum of Science and History.
