To be honest... I don't really think so. It is a typical big city. Maybe if you tell us your interests we can think of something. I lived there for a bit & still have family there. Jax Beach is ok & they have a few museums but nothing that jumps out as "must see".

Miz Scarlett is a JAX attraction!


Seriously, St. Augustine is very nice.

LOL, Verrry funny

Yes, Frank, the Pup and I are here along with the dear Yankee.
there is nothing to do here. Nothing!
There is a lovely museum called the Cummer which has gardens that rival the artwork. This is on Riverside, along side the river
This weekend the Blue Angels are doing their air show, I can hear them now
There are football games here all the time!
St Augustine is very nice for a day of walking and browsing and eating.
Jacksonville Beach is kind of honky tonk, I like the SunDog Diner for sandwiches and the dreadlocked surfer-waiters in their tie dyes
Amelia Island is lovely, with Fernandina Beach and their historical center with wonderful Victorian homes.
But for a night before you fly somewhere, I would say that there is really nothing to do.
