Atlantic Beach is a city in Duval County, Florida, United States and part of the Jacksonville Beaches communities. When the majority of communities in Duval County consolidated with Jacksonville in 1968, Atlantic Beach, along with Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach, and Baldwin, remained quasi-independent. Like the other towns, it maintains its own municipal government, but its residents vote in the Jacksonville mayoral election and have representation on the Jacksonville city council. The population was 12,655 at the 2010 census.

Sunset Pier Park

Reviewed By FoodloverfromMS - Southaven, United States

I’ve been twice now having googled for a good close spot to watch the sunset. It wasn’t wrong. Very easy elevated walkways. Mosquitoes immediately attack as soon as the sunsets so wear bug spray. Also they put the gate up at 8 so if the sunsets at 8:25, park on the street around the park.

I Googled best places to watch the sunset and this place came up. Luckily it was very close to where we are staying on Mayport. I was so pleasently surprised when I saw the park. It is well tended with an abundance of wild life. We say all types of sea birds, crabs, even a bunny.

Took my sister to dinner. Her first time there. Our server, Luke, was the best! Very attentive and gave great suggestions. My sister has been to Ireland many times and said she felt right at home. She got Guinness to drink and the whiskey salmon for dinner. She loved it. I got the pretzel and beer cheese sauce for an appetizer and the Guinness stew for dinner. Both were delicious. Tables were spread out for appropriate social distance and all the staff wore their masks. Very comfortable and friendly environment. We lingered and thoroughly enjoyed our evening.

Dutton Island Preserve

Reviewed By 773bjv - Atlantic Beach, United States

This little hidden Island of Dutton Island Rd from Mayport Rd. You drive a short causeway if you are driving. Now the westside of the park has a bike trail that will take to you to the Island. You can explore the trails at the first parking lot where the bike trail is too. If you follow the road or bike trail to the island, you can explore south and northern part. Norther part has some historical markers. They actually tried to raise shrimp there. Also the original owner had plans to buy the Queen Mary , anchor it off shore and ferry people from Dutton Island to gamble. It didn't happen.

Water was cold but the beach itself is beautiful with soft sand! The boys had a great time digging and building sand castles! Just remember to fill in any holes that you dig as there was a sign warning that sea turtles could get stuck in them on their way to the water!
