OVERVIEW

Jacksonville is a large city in north eastern Florida, built around the St Johns River and extending to the Atlantic coast. Downtown towers, residential neighbourhoods and port facilities are spread across an immense municipal area. Beaches and wetlands lie far from the central business district. Away from the principal landmarks, neighbourhoods gives way gradually to wetlands across the wider area.
