Oceanfront Park is a public recreational space situated directly on the dunes of Jacksonville Beach. The park features an expansive playground area designed with modern play structures suitable for various age groups. A notable site feature is the permanent public art sculpture that serves as a focal point within the landscape. The area provides direct, paved pedestrian access to the beach from 1st Street. It functions as a community hub with integrated picnic tables and benches situated under shaded pavilions. The landscaping incorporates native coastal vegetation to stabilize the surrounding dunes. It is managed by the City of Jacksonville Beach and serves as a primary entry point for beachgoers. The facility is maintained as a smoke-free and alcohol-free environment to preserve its family-oriented atmosphere.
The raised wooden boardwalk leading from the park entrance to the beach dunes provides an unobstructed view of the Atlantic Ocean.
Bring a portable sun umbrella or shade canopy as the playground area can reach high temperatures during peak midday sun.
Utilize the outdoor rinse-off showers located at the park exit to remove sand before entering vehicles.
Arrive early during summer weekends to secure limited nearby street parking.
Do not attempt to walk on or disturb the protected dune vegetation, as this is strictly prohibited and can result in local fines.
Park grounds are typically open from dawn until dusk; access may be restricted during severe weather events or hurricane warnings.
No glass containers allowed on the beach or park premises; carry-in/carry-out trash policy strongly encouraged.
