Atlantic Beach Vacation Rentals, Homes, Condos, Villas and Beach Rentals
Atlantic Beach
is a small seaside town in northeast Florida – one of three beach communities of the Jacksonville area that also includes Neptune Beach and Jacksonville Beach. What makes Atlantic Beach so popular as a vacation destination and a place to live is its nearness to all the conveniences of a large city, while retaining a small “hometown” feel. Miles of white sand beaches and a mild, breezy climate means year-round golfing, swimming, boating, fishing and other outdoor sports. Atlantic Beach is also the favored surfing beach of the Jacksonville area beaches. In addition, Atlantic Beach has approximately 65 acres of city parkland to enjoy. In 1998, the city of Atlantic Beach, along with the city of Jacksonville, began development on the 27-acre island known as Dutton Island Preserve. The island is now a nature park with hiking trails, a fishing pier, a floating dock for kayaks and canoes, plus campsites and pavilions. Atlantic Beach has a small Town Center with shopping and fine dining. Amelia Island is accessible by ferry and the historic city of St. Augustine is just a short drive away.
Northeastern Florida along the Atlantic coast near the Georgia border, enjoys a year round mild climate. Hot, humid summers and warm, mild winters attract lots of visitors to this area in all four seasons of the year. Florida, as a whole, has three basic climatic zones that are classified as "hot-humid." Northern Florida, in the Jacksonville-Amelia Island region is somewhat cooler than the southern part of the state due to its latitude, prevailing northeasterly winds and the cooling breezes from the Atlantic Ocean. It can rain anytime of the year in northeastern Florida, but the official "rainy" season runs from May through October, with September being the wettest month of the year. Winters are sunny and mild, with cool evenings.
