There is an old tradition in this Florida beach town that people come from all over to enjoy. This upcoming holiday, if you need a simple way to get into the holiday spirit, then you have to visit Jacksonville Beach. Not only do you get the salty scent of the ocean and the rolling waves nearby, but you also get to see this town illuminated in ways you’ve never witnessed before.
