Jacksonville is a large city with a small-town feel. There are two military bases in the metropolitan area, and the beaches are a great place to sunbathe and surf. Saint Augustine, the oldest settlement in the continental US, is nearby containing a preserved Spanish fort and a wealth of local shopping and dining.

The Clara White Museum is dedicated to Clara English White, a former slave who used to feed hungry neighbors, and as a part of her legacy the Clara White Mission was open to help feed the homeless as well as providing housing for veterans. African Americans founded the American Beach, which was were they used to go and relax during the 1940s.
