Jacksonville Beach is a coastal resort city in Duval County, Florida, situated on the northern half of San Pablo Island. As part of the collective 'Jacksonville Beaches' communities—which also include Mayport, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, and Ponte Vedra Beach—it retains its own municipal government despite the 1968 consolidation with Duval County. This unique status contributes to its distinct local character, separate from the larger Jacksonville metro area. For frequent-flyer hotel travelers, the city offers a relaxed yet vibrant beachfront atmosphere, ideal for those seeking a coastal retreat within the Jacksonville Metropolitan Statistical Area. The area is well-connected to broader regional amenities while maintaining its identity as a premier destination for sun-seekers and leisure travelers.

This casual Atlantic Beach spot with a vaguely bodega vibe from brothers Nick and Zachary Presti is all about breakfast. The duo is busy churning out decadent, over-the-top, egg-focused sandwiches in the most delicious way. Try the full Monty with maple pepper sausage, applewood smoked bacon and soft, cheesy scrambled eggs sandwiched between slices of brioche French toast and a side of a sweet maple leche. Consider the large, flaky chicken biscuit with crispy thigh meat, redeye aioli (optional) and why not take it a step further by indulging in an add-on of egg and cheese to really dress it up
