Based on a metric considering, nightlife per capita (bars, clubs, comedy, etc.), live music venues per capita, active life options per capita (parks, outdoor activities, etc.), fast food restaurants per capita (the fewer the better) and percentage of restaurants that are fast food (the lower the better) Jax Beach receives (Movoto Real Estate Blog) its due credit as one of the country’s most electrifying places. Jacksonville Beach was second only to Miami Beach in terms of nightlife and live music on a per capita basis. Also of interest was Jax Beaches fourth place finish for active life options, from beaches to waterparks to golf. It doesn’t hurt that Jax Beach also ranked 13th for young residents contributing to the vibrant feeling after dark.
