Any places in the city itself worth seeing?
Something like a spectacular aquarium/fish stores? :-)
Not really. The visibility is fairly poor and you need to go 8-10 miles
off shore for any artificial reefs and those are usually in 60-80 feet
of water with visibility much less then 50 ft.
AquaZoo is my usual marine fish store. The one on Beach Blvd has a nice
selection, but they are also the ones that sold me an ritteri anemone
with 2-days of experience. However, I like to go in there and look at
their tanks.
No public aquarium. Also, watch yourself, there are some rough areas of
town where flying lead and innocent victims/bystanders seem to be the
norm, but anywhere on the beaches is good. The Jacksonville Landing
also has a nice river/downtown atmosphere. If you make it up to
Fernandina Beach, let me know. It's about 50 minutes from downtown Jax.
