Jacksonville, or simply "Jax," is the largest city by area in the continental United States. Located in the northeastern corner of Florida, this sunny city along the St Johns River also boasts 22 miles of beaches along the Atlantic Ocean, coastal cuisine, and many historic neighborhoods to explore.
Natural beauty is king in Jacksonville, and where better to soak in some of the Sunshine State's outdoor wonders than the beach? Try Little Talbot Island for beachcombing or fishing, Big Talbot Island for exploring wetlands and marshes, and Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park for surfing. If you don't have the patience for birdwatching in the wild, the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens will let you get up-close and personal with over 2,400 animals.
To take a break from the sun's rays, head indoors to one of Jacksonville's many eclectic museums. The Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens combines European-inspired gardens with an impressive collection of fine art, while the Museum of Science and History is worth a stop for its planetarium alone. On Saturdays, you wouldn’t want to miss the Riverside Arts Market where artisans and farmers set up stalls along the river, and you can catch live music, food trucks and even free yoga.
Jacksonville is easily accessed by air, train, or bus, and connects Florida to locations throughout the South. Amtrak's Jacksonville train station is located in the northern outskirts of the city, and most bus service in and out of Jacksonville conveniently departs from the JTA Intercity Bus Terminal in the heart of downtown.

Are you ready for some fun under the sun? Miami Beach is a popular tourist attraction in Florida, and for good reason! The crown attraction of the city is South Beach, nicknamed America's Riviera. This vast beach features soft white sand and an extensive range of activities to enjoy, from pampering yourself at a spa to spending the whole day window-shopping at the local shopping venues. Soak up some history with your sun at the Ancient Spanish Monastery, a unique architectural site preserved for over 800 years. The local Miami Children's Museum is a great spot to give little ones' sunburned skin a break.
Miami Beach is much more than just a place to get seafood. The local Cuban food scene is bustling with activities, like at the local favorite Las Olas Café. Another option is Joe's Stone Crab, home to some of the best crab dishes around.
Most transport options depart from Miami Beach's big sister, Miami, including from the Miami International Airport. However, FlixBus US and Jet Set Express offer direct bus service to Miami Beach so that you can get your toes in the sand faster.
