Getting Around

Because this city is so large, it's not very walkable. At least, not outside of a few pockets. The bus system can get you around the main city, but most visitors agree it's best to have your own car. In a pinch, taxis and rideshare services can do the job.

Best time to Visit

Subtropical Jacksonville gets wet, stormy and very, very hot throughout the summer. Come in July and you can expect your average temperature highs in the 90s°F to come with a hearty side order of thunderstorms and sudden downpours. Choose spring and fall instead for more moderate temperatures and much less rain. And, at these times of year, there will be fewer other tourists to contend with, too.

What to Pack

The heat means you can travel pretty light when you come to Jacksonville. No need for heavy coats and woolen sweaters here. You should still pack carefully though, and make sure you bring:

  • Breathable clothes: In humid climates, things get really sticky really fast. Linen and light cotton are good choices; polyester not so much.
  • Comfy shorts: Jacksonville is more laid-back than style-conscious, so bring relaxed clothes that are easy to move around in rather than ultra-fashionable.
  • A swimsuit: Jacksonville is a coastal city with hot weather, so you're going to need to come equipped to take full advantage of this great combo.
