Just an FYI, the downtown area doesnt have a ton of nightlife. Not sure where you're staying but the 5 Points/Riverside area close to downtown has a bunch to do but the beach is really where it's at. The beaches are about a 20 minute ride from downtown. If you have any other questions about anything dont hesitate to ask. Enjoy Jacksonville!
