Best beach in JAX. Hanna park is beautiful, clean, and due to the 5 dollar entry fee is never crazy crowded. Were here very weekend!

An excellent location for enjoying the sunrise, going for a morning stroll, watching marine life, sunbathing, or having a relaxing evening watching and listening to the waves crash along the shoreline. If you are ever in the area, I highly recommend a visit.

This surf spot can only be accessed through Hanna park. 5 per car. Awesome park for surfing, camping, fishing, mountain biking trails, and nature trails w/ cool wildlife and wild flowers

Great place to go to the beach and watch the surfers. Even better if you surf yourself! Nice boardwalk and parking available.

One of my favorite places to go to the beach.

Its great to make it to the poles.

Great place to see the sunrise in Jacksonville Florida

Beautiful, clean, peaceful spot on Atlantic Beach!

Excellent surf spot! Consistent waves with great shape...Beach wasnt crowded at all and it was a very chill, friendly vibe.Waves were on the small side, so that obviously had an effect...

I love the beaches of Jacksonville.

Always a good time!

I visit Hannah Park often, the poles are what separate Hannah park from Mayport Naval Station. In Hannah Park the poles are located at the far most North Beach access, it is access #1. There is a very well built ramp from the parking lot to the beach, there is also a fresh water shower built into that ramp.

Nice section of beach. Clean of debris, good for beach goers and wildlife. Great place to walk or surf.

Great staff

Mine and my husbands favorite spot. It does get crowded but theres good fishing and good waves.

Multiple peaks, jettys blocks current from northeasters, respect the more advanced low incoming is your friend

Good surf and secluded.

Very safe place to take a walk with the dog

If you are looking for some quiet time with all the beachfront and nature you desire, this is the spot.

The Poles is one of the best surf spots in Jacksonville FL. It shares a beach with Mayport Naval Station and parking isnt a problem. There is a $5 fee for entrance into Hannah Park but when other places are crowded its worth it.

Great place to surf on a low to incoming tide. One of the premier surf breaks in northeast Florida. Three thumbs up

I Love The Poles. Great surfing and great beach for the family. Plenty to do here.

So peaceful, not crowded and very clean.

Low key great beach xp

Water visibility was less than a foot. The beach was clean and water was warm.

One of the best beaches in the Jacksonville area. Very clean family oriented beach area. Plenty of tree shaded parking. Bathrooms and showers. Good surfing here. Good fishingNo alcohol.$5.00 for the day.Tent and RV camping.Bring what you need as there is no food concessions, or shopping. Nearby Mayport has great seafood.

Great place to surf always been my favorite spot to go when i go there

Peaceful and everyone minds their own business.

Just a spot. But cool I guess.

Growing up on Mayport in the 90s, there were holes in the poles where vehicles could literally drive through, so they shut down that paved rear entry into Mayport from Hanna Park, but you could still get in on foot in the sand. They usually would have an Mayport Police Officer posted up there, or roaming nearby, to keep people in Hanna Park from entering the Naval Station, and usually an extra guard to keep them from floating over the line. They could exit into Hanna Park from the Base, but they could not enter the base, period, even with IDs. It wasnt a point of Entry. They kinda got crazy after 9/11 and we were just kids but we would try to cross the line over into Hanna Park off the base (where I lived) into so we wouldnt have to pay the $5 to go to the water park inside when it had just been built and then try to sneak back across (my sister and I were a year apart and around between 7-9 years old). Only a couple MPs would let us get away with coming back in without calling our Mom (or even worse, Dad...) because no one was technically allowed in or out right there because its wasnt a point of entry to the base, but my Mother was the Ombudsman Chairperson for the Naval Station and most of the MPs knew my sister and me from meetings we were in the audience of when my mom conducted business, working with most of the MPs on the base. So we got away with murder as kids. It was like having an all access pass. Electric scooters had just come out, and it was a few miles from our house in the back of Enlisted Housing all the way to the Pool or the Bowling Alley, still a far ride on a bike. On a bike, by the time you got to the Pool or Bowling Alley, you were already exhausted. And back then you werent allowed to have electric or motorised vehicles on the sidewalks or street of the base (unless over 16 and licensed, and we were 7/8/9 years old haha). Wed have the MPs chase us down and wed stop if they knew us, and theyd warn us, make us walk it home as they followed behind at creep speed with lights on, or just take our scooters and have them take them back to my Mom or Dad at home and theyd make us walk back. Eventually they gave up after dozens of times cause they figured our parents werent allowing us to do it, but didnt know, and we were hurting anyone really. Just being kids.I miss playing Manhunt (hide and seek with a twist) in the vast woods and trails we found and made throughout the forest that linked Enlisted Housing to Officer Housing, especially behind Lake Wonderwood. When my dad got a new living room set, I hauled all the old furniture deep into the woods and set up a clubhouse that maybe 6 kids knew about. We had a picnic table, a rug 2 recliners, a couch, a massive tarp roof (I think I took it out of our camping supplies haha) and a battery powered 13 TV. Only a few kids knew about it until some older kids found it and set it on fire. I cant tell you how hard it was to get all that furniture back there when youre 7/8 years old, but I had one of those 3 wheel scooters that had rugged tires, and looked like a reverse Forklift that you would push. I used that to haul every piece of furniture miles into the woods, one piece at a time. It was all right around these coordinates (30.3759173, -81.4045222) cause it was in between our house and the Youth Activity Center cause we would hop the recess fence at the YAC to go to our clubhouse. I grew up on that base at the best possible time, right before 9/11 when security started to intensify and being a kid was still fun. We werent allowed in Officer Housing anymore, so we had to stick to the woods, cause the MPs knew us. All the Enlisted Housing has a designator, the first letter of an Enlisted Housing Street is E like Enterprise, Everglades, Essex, etc. Officers housing starts with an O, like Osprey and Oriental etc. I had a bunch of Officer kids whom were friends, but no cellphones, so if you couldnt hear dads whistle, you were too far from home. So alot of the times we would have to chance it. Haha. Ill always miss Mayport!

Lovely place to spend a warm florida day!
