Top 10 things to do in Jacksonville
- Go to the beach. Jacksonville has 1,100 miles of shoreline and 22 miles of white-sand beaches to explore.
- Ride a bike. The Timucuan Trail is a pathway that runs through Florida's marshes, along the beaches, and past wildlife viewing areas. The trail is part of the East Coast Greenway, a 3,000-mile trail that follows the coastline from the Florida Keys to Maine.
- Book a fishing trip. Hire a fishing charter, leave your tackle at home, and let the experts show you some of Jacksonville's favorite fishing spots.
- Raise your glasses! Pick up a Jax Ale Trail Brewery Passport and try the best craft beer in Jacksonville.
- Paddle the waterways. Jacksonville's waterways are sure to entertain almost every water lover in your family. Rent a kayak or a stand-up paddleboard and explore Jacksonville from the water.
- Pack a lunch. Riverside Park and Memorial Park are just two of the city's most-loved parks, both perfect spots for a picnic lunch for two —or the whole crew!
- Golf. Schedule a round of golf at one of Jacksonville's world-class golf courses. The city has a course for almost every level of golfer. Kids can even get in on the action at Adventure Landing, a family entertainment center with miniature golf, and family-fun sections like Gator Alley and Shipwreck Island Waterpark.
- Get hooked on history. Jacksonville is the place to visit if you like to learn. Three national historical locations worth visiting are the Kingsley Plantation, Fort Caroline National Memorial, and the Timucuan Ecological and Historical Preserve.
- Experience the arts. Mix it up, and visit the Museum of Science & History (MOSH), Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens, and the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens. Each venue has something unique to see and do, no matter your age or interest.
- Take a day trip. Jacksonville is approximately a two-hour drive from Orlando and less than an hour and a half away from Daytona Beach; make the city your home base, and venture out to see what else Florida offers.
RV traveler tips
- Interstate 95, which runs through Jacksonville, can be congested, especially during rush hour.

Jacksonville weather
The best time to visit Jacksonville is during the spring and fall, when the weather is warm and comfortable during the day and cooler at night.
Summer is typically hot and humid in Florida, and it rains often. Hurricane season runs from June through November, so you might experience more rain than usual if you visit during these months. The good thing? Jacksonville is historically less prone to hurricanes than other parts of the state.
Are you worried about inclement weather? RV pro tip: Download an RV road trip app that will send you real-time weather alerts to help you stay ahead of a storm.
Winter is the most popular time to visit Florida because it's warmer and sunnier than the northern sections of the United States and Canada. Winter weather in Jacksonville is wonderful, so it's a good idea to start planning your trip early if you want to RV in Jacksonville from December through March.
