I've lived in the Jacksonville and North Florida for 25 years. Yes, there's work to be done downtown and in Jacksonville Beach and honestly it could use better leadership and a more solid vision of where it's headed. The potential for a truly special city is here though and overall it's a wonderful place to live for the outdoor person! I don't ever plan on moving from this region. It's a beautiful spot to be with excellent weather, the Atlantic Ocean many parks, picnic spots and hiking trails.

[@runswithbeer]

This one is much better than the last one on Jax. I am from there. Ponte Vedra is pronounced "Veedra". The Tolomato river near Nocatee is called the Intracoastal Waterway. Nobody uses the river names around here. I'm surprised you didn't mention Kingsley Plantation, which is a Timucuan Preserve right across from where you get off the St Johns River Ferry. It's a beautiful property with old live oaks dripping with moss and standing historic buildings to tour; easily a daytrip. Maybe next time cover Fort Caroline which is right near where you get on the Dames Point Bridge from the south. We also have a Botanical Gardens right neat Fort Caroline. That section of town is beautiful with older Spanish-style homes. Also San Marco area which is near the south bank of downtown, and Five Points which is a cute area with shopping, down Riverside Dr. Bounded by the West bank of the St Johns river and the Ortega river is one of the most affluent neighborhoods in town and full of historic and beautiful homes, called Ortega. I could go on and on. I'm sure you don't have so much time to cover everything but for your next vid, there's a few offerings yet. Good job!

[@TampaAerialMedia]

Thankyou, yea, I knew I owed it to the JAX area to do a much better area...I've always of said Veedra, but when I looked it up the prnounciation websites were saying "ved-ra". Thanks for the comments.

[@misteriknow2069]

Yeah, that “Ponte Vaydra” pronunciation was killing me & every Jax Native in this video lol. Thought I was the only one 😂.

It's Ponte-Veed-ruh, rather than Ved-Ruh, not a big deal but as a former local it bothered me. This video showed really the highlights of a misunderstood city, and I am excited to see it continue to grow!

[@jamesbrown3822]

The only thing that ever grows in this city is the crime rate

[@nikkix3993]

The true accurate pronunciation is "PONtey or PONtay VEHdrah or VEHdruh or VAYdrah...VAYdruh". The locals have been pronouncing it incorrectly, as they have/do many other words. The city was named after a Spanish city in Spain (Pontevedra), but the actual words are Latin, meaning "old bridge". Both Latin and Spanish pronunciations are "VEHdrah or VAYdrah". Most of the city names words in Florida are either Indigenous Native or Spanish. Many are French. Modern pronunciations have been changed by locals from correct to whatever easier or preferred.

[@giovanni21M7]

I appreciate the video and time put into the guide. I lived in Florida for a while and I realized everywhere you go it’s the same thing (with the exceptions of museums) eat food and go to the beach, that’s it. I’m not including all the things to do at the beach because that’s too vast. The terrain is too flat . As for the crime, it’s terrible, the society construct is divided by rich and poor and the middle class is scattered throughout these neighborhoods. As for seeing people say there’s tons to do, very inaccurate. My wife and I love going out, we go to new bars,pubs and restaurants every other day. We jet ski, look at the sights and visit every museum,garden and just about any event. We now live in San Diego,CA , hands down the most beautiful city in California. Fortunately San Diego in a very Red city (not that it matters to some) , very pet friendly city and here there is a ton to do. We’ve lived here for years and we still haven’t done and seen everything. Now I’ll be going back to Jacksonville, not because I want to but because I have to and am not happy about it a single bit. Oh and the weather is horrible, it’s like an armpit. Imagine going from the most perfect weather in the US and then diving head first into a jock strap.

[@TampaAerialMedia]

I think you have to search out the good parts of JAX. I love San Diego too, but also there the beaches are not what they used to be, Pacific Bch, Mission Bch getting alittle run down,still better than JAX Bch, but I think I would put the edge to Fernandina Beach.

[@texastravelers210]

I wonder why Californians move out of state in huge numbers . If you're wealthy you don't represent the majority of the people but for the middle class and lower class California became extremely expensive. You're forced to live in apartments because you can't afford a house anymore. Not that housing is cheap in Florida but still far away from CA. How's that beach water working out for you? Cold isn't it? Many regulations in CA . It's beautiful in its own way but apparently a lot of people don't care about mountains they like Florida because of their beaches, lakes, rivers and parks . More laid back (leave Miami-Ft Lauderdale out of it) . I live in South Texas. The Southwest and Texas constantly deal with droughts. It doesn't want to rain makes the landscape look dry . Florida doesn't have that problem . Anyway I think you make Florida ( Jacksonville) look like worse than it is.

Absolutely love this video. I had the privilege of living in Jax for 21 years now, and this video made me fall in love with it even more. Jags heard you and finally signed Tim Tebow. One correction: Beachwalk and Beacon lake are not in Nocatee and don’t belong to any of the Nocatee amenities. Nocatee is it’s own beast. Fastest growing in the nation community. With multiple pools/splash areas for kids, 6 miles from the beach, walking trails, golf cart community. But Beachwalk and Beacon Lake are off of 210. Close to Nocatee.

We moved to Jacksonville in 1997. The recruiter that brought me to Jax told me all about the great things that were going to happen soon. I lost count of how many times the Ship Yards were going to be developed into a Mecca to draw people. None ever started. The tax dollars disappeared but that’s par for the course. When we moved there, the Landing had some great shops, there was a maritime museum on the South Bank. It’s all gone now but Lenny has his green space. When we moved to Naples in 2019, Kahn was telling everybody about his grand vision for everything surrounding the stadium. But I don’t see anything happening yet. Maybe things will change, but I’m doubtful they will.

[@BBQPorkSandwich3]

I’ve heard about possible things about to happen at Lot J. They at least have plans drawn out and looking for more retailers. Lot J will happen before the shipyards. As a Jacksonville native I will run for mayor sometime soon in the future. This city has given me great opportunity. I want to give back to it and its people. Lenny Curry would be history

San Marco, near riverside and downtown, really is worth a visit if you ever find yourself in the Jacksonville area.

[@areguapiri]

Yes.

[@missminx6984]

DTWD baby! Born and raised and never leaving. Know every river, waterway, creek and nook n cranny exploring w my boat or seadoo over the yrs.

[@luvslogistics1725]

Downtown riverside district has tremendous potential - I think maybe that’s what Lot J was supposed to be. But personally I love Ponte Vedra and all areas north and south of town, where it feels a little country but also still upscale.

[@Happypappytappy]

Cool, I’m gonna be there in November

[@Happypappytappy]

October*

Your videos are always great! The commentary is professional and soothing at the same time. This is my favorite travel guide channel. Question: how do you film your driving scenes? I tried it at Myrtle Beach inside my car but all I saw was the reflection of the cab. Do you put your cameras on the outside of your car? Or do you roll the windows down? What cameras do you use? Would love to see your camera set ups. P.s. thanks again for all the great videos! Love em

[@TampaAerialMedia]

Yep I mount the cameras on the top of the truck and use GoPro Hero 8. The suction cups they make pretty good are pretty strong This is the one I use www.amazon.com/Smatree-Suction-Greater-Compatible-Session/dp/B00PQ4ACQ2/ref=sr_1_18?dchild=1&keywords=Go+Pro+car+mounted&qid=1616546916&sr=8-18

My hometown is beautiful.

[@Miss_AriStarry]

Excellent post. I’m moving to Jacksonville and watched hundreds of videos but your videos has given be a better idea of Jax as we are pcsing and clue less about Jacksonville

[@TampaAerialMedia]

Thankyou Yorkie, doing a Hwy a1a video in a couple of months where well show alittle more around JAX

[@adrianmontelongo9707]

Jacksonville Florida is beautiful places. Home NFL jaguars, nice buildings, beach and bridge.

[@serhankapucu5885]

I have never been to jacksonville , here l can think that is as beautiful a place as miami , the wide beaches , perfect view . I am not someone widely read about here's story . But I want to visit to.jacksonville , greetings from turkey

[@TampaAerialMedia]

I think as far as beaches outside JAX are nicer than the beaches of Miami

[@matthewz2065]

[@TampaAerialMedia]

You're welcome!

[@ManewBlewww]

Beautiful video🙃 Thank you! Love the drone's work, it brings so much views from the top🤩 If y'all appreciate the fresh fishes go to the Safe Harbor Seafood Restaurant in Mayport, not far from the ferry! Cool spot, easy, real folks. I miss Jax Beach where I used to live, so much I realized it's where my heart is...sooo, I'm working hard on a project to get the right visa to come back, I can't wait😍 I used to live in Fernandina Beach too...Amelia Island is quite gorgeous!! The Live oaks and their moss plant with incredible natural light going through...yep, so many beauties there...check the Big Talbot Driftwood Beach, you won't regret ((; The Sunshine State is an amazing land💚💙💛❤...well, I'll have to tell you about my "Georgia on my mind" one day... take care y'all

[@TampaAerialMedia]

Thankyou for sharing and for the nice words

[@myopiniongoodyouropinionbad]

Chamblins. Its not Chamberlain's but even locals seem to mess it up

[@angelgregio]

Great video. When you are not from here though "pontey vaydra" instead of what we know it as "pawna veedra".

[@donaldsawyer2618]

Only been to Jacksonville once but I liked it. I think it is slept on. I love Miami but I think Jacksonville can be an alternative to Orlando and other cities. A few hours drive from Atlanta and they don’t get as many storms as other pets of Florida

[@TampaAerialMedia]

Good point

[@marklyles3820]

Nice

[@SparkyBrah]

Sounds as if you really liked my hometown ;)

[@TampaAerialMedia]

Yes I did

[@sendyponce4454]

Beatifull city ❤this is my city yeap

[@misteriknow2069]

As a Jax Native who moved to the West Coast, it’s rare to find a fully comprehensive video that speaks positive on Jax and the surrounding areas. Good stuff. Just know it’s pronounced Ponte Veeeedra not Ponte Vaydra to locals. Also…unless you’re a Gator fan, NOBODY wanted Tebow at the time this was filmed. (But yes the city was excited for Urban before his infamous season started). RIP Landing, Avoid Out East & NW Jax & most importantly: Go Jags!

[@TampaAerialMedia]

Thankyou, yep I still believe JAX has so much potential

[@misteriknow2069]

I know Jax has a lot of potential, it’s basically the city’s motto: “the Bold New City of the South” that you see on every JSO cop car…it’s just a lot of locals keep hearing it, but never see any real big moves. Jax is a constant struggle of half the people begging for change like real public transit, attractions like a seaquarium or a theme park, while the other half of Jax wants to stay the same and keep the city to be a bigger version of Gainesville or Ocala. Personally I don’t think Jax will ever pull into its full potential until the younger generation takes over and the older generation dies out…but we’ll see what happens.

[@solomondavid329]

This video almost makes me want to move to Jacksonville Fl.

[@livinginjacksonvilleflorida904]

Let me know if you do decide to move here. I love it here.
