## About

A free history museum on Beach Boulevard that tells the story of Jacksonville's beach communities: Mayport, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Jacksonville Beach, Ponte Vedra and Palm Valley. Rotating exhibits, a historic chapel on the grounds and a program of talks and gallery tours cover what makes each community unique. Admission is free for all ages, which makes it an easy short stop with children on a beach day.
