In sharp contrast to the city environment, rich rural landscapes comprise the area west of Jacksonville. Dotted with beautiful lakes and wooded terrain, this region is not widely known to many outsiders, but offers a respite for all who appreciate the peace and quiet of a rural countryside. As with all parts of Florida, Jacksonville boasts some wonderful golf courses.
The nearby Amelia Island has an air of Southern influence and climate. Fernandina Beach, the only town on the island, is a popular destination and hosts over 450 stylish Victorian residences. Jacksonville accommodation consists of hotels, inns and bed 'n breakfasts in the downtown areas and city approaches with beach resorts, hotels, inns and vacation rentals servicing the Jacksonville Beach and Ponte Vedra Beach areas. Getting There & Getting Around Jacksonville International Airport is 12 miles from downtown. It's served by
Air Canada, American, Continental, Delta, Midway, Northwest, Southwest, United, Metro Jet and
US Airways. Taxi cabs service the city and surrounding areas. Express Shuttles provides van services to and from hotels and resorts throughout the area. The Jacksonville Transportation Authority, operates the Skyway, an elevated and automated train running through downtown and across the river to the Southbank Riverwalk. The Trolley is a free service that connects with the Skyway and runs east-west through downtown. The authority also provides local bus services. Out at the beaches, the St. Johns River Ferry operates a 5-minute ride that greatly shortens the trip between the Jacksonville beaches and Amelia Island. Amtrak provides services to the Jacksonville rail station.
