Sunshine State, Chilly Waters?
Florida may be known for its balmy weather, but December in Jacksonville can be a bit of a weather roulette game. While you'll likely escape the blizzard conditions of other parts of the country, the average high temperatures hover around the mid-60s (Fahrenheit). The ocean reflects this coolness, with water temperatures dipping down to the low 60s.
Translation: You might be more likely to see surfers in wetsuits than sunbathers in bikinis.
Are You a Polar Bear in Disguise?
If you're the kind of person who welcomes a refreshing dip regardless of the season, then hey, more power to you! Just pack a wetsuit, or at least a healthy dose of courage.
Tip: Highlight sentences that answer your questions.
But beware the judgement of seasoned Floridians: They might give you a look reserved for those who eat grits with a spoon (gasp!).
December Delights: Beyond the Brrr
Even if the ocean isn't exactly inviting you with open arms (or waves), Jacksonville in December has a ton to offer:
- Cozy Beach Vibes: Take a walk on the beach and breathe in the fresh ocean air. It's way more invigorating than that fruitcake you have to pretend to like at family gatherings.
- Explore the City: Jacksonville has museums, historical sites, and a thriving craft beer scene to warm you up from the inside out.
- Catch a Game: Cheer on the Jacksonville Jaguars (their fiery spirit might just inspire you to brave the waves).
Remember: December is also a great time to snag deals on hotels and flights, so you can spend more on that celebratory hot cocoa (spiked or not, we won't judge).
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.
