If you’re looking for a day-trip destination, we’ve got some suggestions. Located 25 miles away, Jacksonville is worth the drive. Among your first few stops here ought to be Jacksonville Mall, Coastal Plains Raceway and Dragway and Lynnwood Park Zoo. Locals will also probably point you in the direction of Surf City, 30 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, let it be Surf City Pier. (But we’d also recommend Ohana Paddle Sports and Mia’s Marketplace.)
