Beaches & Adventure Insider

Lauren Tjaden

Hang gliding is my passion, and in 2006, I helped the U.S. Women's Hang Gliding Team win silver in the World Championships. An author, ultimate adventure lover, beach bunny and sand snob, I've visited almost every beach in Florida and can't wait to explore more. Join me as I flip-flop across the Sunshine State, sharing the softest sand, sweetest shores and a boatload of adventure.



The Right Whale Festival in Jacksonville Beach

November 11, 2009


You’ve heard about the right mix, the right stuff, the right move, the right start and certainly the right wing, but I’ll bet my beach towel you’ve never heard about the right whale – at least, not before right now.

The Right Whale Festival on Dec. 5, 2009 in Jacksonville Beach celebrates the endangered mammals' winter calving season off Northeast Florida's coast, and includes:
  • Beach cleanup
  • Ocean-focused music
  • Ocean-focused art activities
  • Beach run
  • Booths where you can listen to whale sounds and learn more about marine mammals
Sounds like a righteous festival to me!

Check out this video about Jax area beaches – they rock like Elvis.
