Jacksonville, Florida
Huguenot Memorial Park is a premier waterfront park located on a peninsula where the St. Johns River meets the Atlantic Ocean. It is famous for being the only beach in Duval County where visitors can drive their vehicles directly onto the sand, making it popular for beach tailgating and easy access to the water. The park offers a wide range of recreational activities, including swimming, surfing, and fishing.
Beyond the beach, the park is a critical habitat for shorebirds and is part of the Great Florida Birding Trail. It features a campground with waterfront sites, a playground, and picnic shelters. The calm waters on the river side are ideal for kayaking and paddleboarding, while the ocean side attracts surfers and beachcombers looking for a lively coastal experience.
