During your Jacksonville vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Jacksonville Landing
Resembling New York City's South Street Seaport, Boston's Faneuil Hall, Miami's Bayside, and Baltimore's Inner Harbor, this glass-and-steel complex on the north bank of the river serves as the focus of downtown activity. Yeah, you may see a mime or two occasionally, and there's a Hooters, a Ruby Tuesday, and a Starbucks, but there's also amazing local live music, good non-chain sushi, and Thai and Mexican restaurants. Unlike those in other cities, this complex is not just for tourists -- it's command central for many locals looking for a lively day or night out. There are more than 65 stores here, but shopping is secondary to the dining and entertainment. You can choose from a half-dozen full-service restaurants, plus an inexpensive food court with indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the river. The Landing is the scene of numerous special events, ranging from arts festivals to baseball-card shows, plus outdoor rock, blues, country, and jazz concerts on weekends. Call or check the website to find out what's going on during your stay.

Southbank Riverwalk
Bordering the St. Johns River, directly opposite Jacksonville Landing , this 1 1/4-mile wooden zigzag boardwalk is usually filled with joggers, tourists, folks sitting on benches, and lovers walking hand-in-hand, all of them watching the riverboats, the shorebirds, and downtown's skyline reflected in the water. At 200 feet in diameter, the Friendship Fountain, near the west end, is the nation's largest self-contained fountain; it's especially beautiful at night when illuminated by 265 colored lights. Nearby, you'll pass military memorials, a small museum dedicated to the city's history, and the Museum of Science & History of Jacksonville (MOSH), at Museum Circle and San Marco Boulevard (tel. 904/396-6674; www.themosh.org). MOSH is an interactive children's museum focusing on the science and history of Northeast Florida. One of its stars is an Allosaurus dinosaur skeleton. It also has a small planetarium, with shows included in museum admission: $7 for adults, $5.50 for seniors, and $5 for children 3 to 12. The museum is open Monday through Friday from 10am to 5pm, Saturday from 10am to 6pm, and Sunday from 1 to 6pm. The Riverwalk is the scene of special MOSH programs, seafood fests, parties, parades, and arts-and-crafts festivals.
Ponte Vedra Inn & Club
This luxurious 300-acre country club and spa is a great place to pamper yourself between rounds of golf or games of tennis. The inn is ultra-elegant from the moment you drive up to its manicured front lawn, which doubles as a putting green. The gorgeous spa offers oceanview massage, herbal and seaweed wraps, facials, hydrotherapy, and much more. A new three-story building in front of the original 1937 clubhouse contains an expansive lobby downstairs and spacious, upscale guest rooms upstairs. Across the road, the condominiums are located in two-story buildings along the beach. All have furnished patios or balconies and are individually decorated; some have four-poster or sleigh beds. The larger units have full kitchens, and microwaves and small fridges are available upon request. In addition to the inn's two 18-hole golf courses, its excellent tennis center, and its fully equipped gym with six-lane Olympic pool, guests can use the three beachside pools and other facilities at the nearby Lodge & Club at Ponte Vedra Beach . The Island House, a lodging favorite of guests since it was originally built in 1972, was razed in order to make way for a new and modern version: This Island House (opened in 2003) has 28 luxurious rooms and suites, all overlooking the famous Island 9th golf hole and blue lagoons. Note: There is a nightly gratuity charge of $12 per double room for the bellman, doorman, chambermaid, and valet-parking staff, so don't double tip.Facilities: 3 restaurants; 3 bars; indoor pool; golf courses; tennis courts; health club and spa; watersports equipment rentals; bike rental; children's programs (summer only); concierge; business center; 24-hr. room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service; coin-op washers and dryers.
Omni Jacksonville Hotel
Located directly across the street from the Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts and a block west of Jacksonville Landing, the Omni enjoys a more convenient location than the Hilton across the river. It caters primarily to a corporate clientele that fills the meeting facilities during the week. Most rooms are of moderate size, with the pick of the litter being the Florida suites, which have sitting areas with river or city views. The pool is on the rooftop overlooking the river. Reasonably priced Juliette's Restaurant & Bistro provides a locally famous pasta bar.
Sea Horse Oceanfront Inn
This old-school beachfront motel offers clean, spacious rooms with ocean views from its balconies and patios. Families will appreciate the six units with kitchenettes, not to mention the big beachfront lawn with pool, shuffleboard, picnic tables, and grill. Others will enjoy proximity to some of Jacksonville's top nightspots. The pool itself boasts a happening watering hole, the Lemon Bar. If you have a large family or group, consider the vast and lovely third-floor penthouse -- it has a big living room and dining area, full kitchen, and separate bedroom as well as sofa beds; the huge balcony is furnished with dining table and chaise longues. A coffee shop adjoins the motel, and Town Center's restaurants and bars are across the street.
