Labor Day is always bittersweet. The weekend is extra-long, but that first Monday in September marks the last day of summer. Still, we think you should honor those hard-working men and women that brought us Labor Day by making sure that you absolutely do not work. What better way to honor them than to check out a music festival or relax on a beach? Below are our recommendations on what to do in Jacksonville for Labor Day.  <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

GET OUT<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You spend so much time cooped up inside, why not spend a long weekend under the sky? <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Jacksonville has 22 miles of coast that are begging for beach days. What makes Jacksonville beaches different from other sandy shorelines? For starters, grilling (charcoal or gas\u2014we don\u2019t judge) is permitted, so grab some grill-friendly favorites and make a day out of it. Fishing from the pier is allowed without a permit, so if you run out of hot dogs, you can always fry some fish. Plus, May through October is sea turtle nesting season, so you might see some shelled swimmers come ashore. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

(904) 641-7155 This national park boats 46,000 acres of coastal wetlands, hiking and biking trails, and an abundance of wildlife. Hike or rent bikes, and make sure to bring binoculars and try to spot some wild boar, gray foxes, and the American Alligator\u2014also known as the official state reptile! We suggest combining your trip with some history by reserving a tour at Kingsley Plantation<\/a>, located within the park\u2019s grounds. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Grab your brewery passport at any of the 15 (and counting) local breweries and get tasting. Don\u2019t forget to collect your passport stamps, as there are prizes depending on how many you collect (and it\u2019ll help you remember where you were).We suggest hitting up Intuition Ale Works<\/a> for their I-10 IPA and fantastic view of downtown from the rooftop bar. For sour fans, Aardwolf Brewing Company<\/a> has plenty of pints that\u2019ll make you pucker up.  <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
