Jacksonville, Florida is where the north flowing St. Johns River meets the Atlantic Ocean and where Northerners were lured in their search of sunshine and beach. Downtown Jacksonville is filled with many interesting shops, restaurants, and has a very lively urban center. But, it’s the Riverwalk which is the pride of the city.

This charming riverside boardwalk is a popular riverfront meeting place for the locals and a place for out-of-state and out-of-country tourist like to gather for a great mile and a half walk, packed with restaurants, bars, museums, a hotel Florida USA which is internationally known, a fantastic marina, and the most scenic views of the downtown skyline. There are convenient water taxis shuttle people to the opposite and Jacksonville North Landing’s , which not only has additional dining and shopping, it is a destination point for everyone staying or living in Jacksonville. The nightlife alone provides what anyone could possibly want and every venue offers a gorgeous view of the St. Johns River and of Jacksonville.

The Riverwalk was originally planned as a boardwalk located on the south bank of the St. Johns River with the intentions to become a venue where locals and tourists could view the beauty of the river and Jacksonville’s amazing skyline, but the original vision has surpassed itself not only by building up the northside of St. Johns River as well, but by epitomizing what Florida is all about: sunshine, water, sailboats, speedboats and divine sky-rises.

Current features include 2-Open Air Pavilions; the Ship Museum, which emphasizes the historic relationship between the city and the river and the River City Brewing Company. Plus, there are tentative future plans to add a 128-slip dock facility, which would include a new section of southbank Riverwalk on by 13 acres on the Aetna Building property, adding 1,100 additional feet of riverfrontage.
