The Ultimate Playground Awaits You!
You won’t be dreaming when you wake up and find yourself living in an area with so much beauty and so much to do. From championship golf courses and world-class tennis courts to kayaking at sunrise and horseback riding at sunset, Nassau County is a veritable playground for all ages. Beautiful Amelia Island is replete with 13 miles of white, sandy beaches where hunting for fossilized sharks’ teeth and seashells has become an honored pastime. Some of Florida’s most beautiful and preserved sand dunes grace Nassau County’s shoreline. The area’s history dates back over 400 years, all of which are uniquely described at Florida’s only spoken-history museum, located in historic Fernandina Beach. In addition to the museum, you’ll find a 150-year-old lighthouse, a Civil War fort, a state park, and a 50-block Victorian-era National Historic District.
Imagine knowing that minutes after you leave the office at the end of the day, you could be enjoying any one or several of the above activities. When you’re ready to venture outside of Nassau County’s gentle embrace, Jacksonville’s exciting world awaits. The First Coast is proud to be home of the Jacksonville Jaguars, who make fall and winter a “roaring” good time. Other spectacular sporting events are the annual PGA TOUR’s Players Championship held in March, and the MPS Group Championships held in April. The Jacksonville Zoo offers an impressive array of animals in an equally impressive setting ; one of the most interesting in the Southeast. The city also offers myriad art, science and history museums as well as outstanding theatre and symphony.
