Jacksonville's outdoor scene is one of its most underused date assets. Jacksonville's Atlantic beaches are uncrowded, wide, and genuinely beautiful — Neptune Beach in particular has a walkable village feel with restaurants and bars along Atlantic Boulevard. Pair that with a patio dinner and a rooftop wind-down and you have a date that costs less than a movie ticket and lasts all day.
