About a mile from the hotel, a gigantic shopping area is alive with food, shopping and entertainment. While you can technically walk to it from the hotel, we don’t recommend it, as the area is very spread out! Click here to visit their website.
Tapestry park
Actually within walking distance is a small live / work community with local shops and boutiques… and a Starbucks! Check out the directory of shops right outside our door step.
THE BEACHES
There are four major beaches in Jacksonville - all with a slightly different vibe. Jacksonville Beach is the closest beach (15 min with the most variety of things to do - as its most catered to tourists. While it does get crowded on the weekends, there are some quieter areas if a relaxed scene is what you are after. Click here for a guide to the Jacksonville Beach scene.

But there is still plenty to do while the makeover is in progress - not to mention the best water views in the state. More to come.
