Rocking to the beat of a live band as you watch boats navigate the beautiful Saint John’s River is just one of the things you will enjoy while visiting the Jacksonville Landing. Located in downtown Jacksonville on the north bank of the river, the Landing features a plethora of shopping, dining, and entertainment venues. With more than 300 live events each year, there is never a shortage of family entertainment. Everything from Superbowl rallies to American Idol tryouts can be enjoyed in the main square overlooking the river.
Boasting twenty restaurants, including favorites such as Hooters and The American Grill, every budget and taste can be satisfied while enjoying a day at the Landing. Following an afternoon of dining and shoping, a leisurely stroll down the famous Jacksonville Riverwalk is a must. Hand crafted, life size statues and unique artwork adorn the scenic 1.5 mile long Riverwalk. As you enjoy the promenade, keep an eye out for Manatees, as they are often sighted ambling along the banks of the river. Spotting a 70 year old, 2,000 pound sea cow is the piece de resistance to an already enjoyable excursion. Be sure to bring along your camera to capture the moment when one of these rare mamals are sighted. A trip to the Jacksonville Landing should be included on every “to-do” list when touring downtown Jacksonville.
