Atlantic Beach, Florida, Georgia vs. Florida, Football, Events, Activities, First Coast, College Football
I have been visiting this small and quaint town named Atlantic Beach. It is also known as part of the First Coast. I was here a few months ago when the town was still very crowded with the summer visitors enjoying the beaches.
Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Jacksonville Beach and Ponte Vedra have wide and beautiful beaches. Very popular with surfers and windsurfers as the swells seem to be ever present in these waters.
When I arrived here I thought it was pretty quiet but this is progressively changing as the Florida vs. Georgia game takes place this coming Saturday at the Everbank Field in Jacksonville. For years this game has been held in Jacksonville and residents will tell you that college football is definitely more popular here than the NFL.
There are a lot of activities at the Sports Complex; they started on Wednesday. This celebration attracts fans from all over. For more information on the schedule of events, please visit http://www.makeascenedowntown.com/Events/Georgia-vs–Florida-Weekend-Festivities.aspx.
They say that “Anyone who says it’s just a game, has never been!!”
In the meantime, Atlantic Beach is open. Tonight the town was hopping and music was in the air. What a difference a few days make!
Have a great time and talk to you later…..
