Jacksonville, known as the "River City," lines both banks of the languid and picturesque St. Johns River. Continually ranked as one of the "top ten best places to live" by Money magazine, Jacksonville contains the largest urban park system in the United States. The parks range from quiet oak forests to vast salt marshes. Close by the city are the relatively unspoiled and unfenced beaches of Atlantic Beach, Jacksonville Beach and Neptune Beach, which offer excellent fishing, boating and water recreation. Jacksonville Landing, located downtown along the river, is the city's premier entertainment district, boasting a variety of shops, restaurants and annual events.
