As a native southern Louisianian, I have been visiting Gulf beaches for my entire life. From day trips to Mississippi cities to family weekends in Florida, I am well-acquainted with the blue waters and sugar sands of these cities. When Jacksonville, Florida came knocking, I realized I have never been to an Atlantic Ocean coastal city before. I've seen the waters from planes and from northeastern city vistas, but Jacksonville will be the first time I set foot into it.
