About
Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park (3&4) is a public beach access point inside Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park in Jacksonville, Florida, about 2.5 miles from the town of Atlantic Beach. This access has restrooms, lifeguards, accessible access and parking, so it works well for a full beach day. For comfortable warmth without peak summer heat, late spring and fall are good choices. At a nearby weather station, typical average highs are about 77°F in April and 80°F in October, compared with about 90°F in July, when wet days are also more frequent. A fee is charged, and dogs are allowed. If you want to add a walk, Fort George Island Cultural State Park Trail is about 4 miles away, and Timucuan Trail is just under 5 miles away. The Little Talbot Island State Park Trail and the Bild Talbot Island State Park Hiking Trail are both within about 6 miles.
