The perfect destination for a sunny day trip or a refreshing weekend getaway Discover the nature of things at Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park, Jacksonville's premier 450-acre beachfront getaway. Located on the sandy shores of the Atlantic Ocean, the park boasts sunny beaches, freshwater lakes, wooded campsites and a host of other amenities. Whatever your pleasure, Hanna Park has something for you. You can soak up the Florida sun along 1.5 miles of sandy, white beaches or swim, sail, fish or surf in the Atlantic Ocean. Lifeguards are on duty during the summer to supervise all oceanfront water activities.
Concession stands are also open during the summer, offering appetizing snacks and soft drinks.
Hanna Park's 60-acre freshwater lake is perfect for fishing, kayaking, paddle boats and canoes. Lakeside tables and grills are available for family picnics or company cookouts. Scenic nature trails for hiking or biking surround the lake and wind through the lush green forest. The lake area includes a quarter-acre water playground with colorful fountains, playful water squirting devices and sprayers for our guests who are young at heart. Campsites, nearly 300 of them, privately nestled in the woods along winding, paved roads, appeal to those individuals with a real desire to get back to nature.
