Welcome to Atlantic Beach, Florida.
Atlantic Beach is a city in Duval County, Florida, United States. When the majority of communities in Duval County consolidated with Jacksonville, Florida in 1968, Atlantic Beach, along with Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach, and Baldwin, Florida, remained quasi-independent.

Like the other towns, it maintains its own municipal government but its residents vote in the Jacksonville mayoral election and have representation on the Jacksonville city council. The population was 13,368 at the 2000 census.
Atlantic Beach took off around 1900 after Henry Flagler built the Mayport stop of his East Coast Railway to the north of the town. The Atlantic Beach Corporation bought and developed most of the land in what is now Atlantic Beach in 1915, and the town was incorporated in 1926.
Atlantic Beach is surrounded by natural beauty; a pristine beach to our east, the maritime woods of Hanna Park to the north, and the beautiful Intracoastal Waterway marshes to our west. Atlantic Beach offers year round enjoyment for the outdoor enthusiast as well as a small newly renovated Town Center with fine shopping, dining and night life at our doorstep.
