An evening in San Marco is perhaps one of the easiest areas for a Jax date night. The perfect neighborhood to walk around surrounded by great cocktail bars and impeccable restaurants. Walking around the San Marco square is a must, and the hub of this charming neighborhood. Like many small pockets of Jacksonville, San Marco has an immense amount of history, including the oldest community-run theater.

A place where you can relax, be on the water AND interact with one of Florida’s beloved native animals (the Florida Manatee)! Hoping to escape the city for a weekend and take advantage of Florida’s wildlife, Crystal River,…
