Any excuse for a party, Jax Beach is revving up for the big
one on Saturday night. Locals, townies, and ?feriners? in
town for the Gator Bowl, will be flocking to the
Jacksonville beaches? hotels, restaurants and nightclubs, to
party into the wee hours ? in some cases until 4 a.m... With
temperatures forecasted into the mid 70?s, we?ll be lovin
it! Here?s a rundown on just some of the action happening
New Years Eve in Jax Beach Florida.

This New Years Eve marks the end of an era for many locals
of the beaches area.First Street Grill will be closing its
doors for the last time early New Year?s day. Slated for
demolition early next year to make room for a new 7 story
condo, First Street Grill promises to go out with a bang.
They are still taking reservations for their last bash.
$175.00 will get you 2 five coarse dinners, a bottle of
champagne and 2 glasses of bubbly at midnight to bring in
the New Year. Entertainment will be provided by ?The
Company?, serving up a repertoire of oldies from the 60?s
and 70?s. Dining and dancing days of the First Street Grill
will be sorely missed and fondly remembered by us all?may
all acquaintance?

Right at the hub of the party is Magellan?s Oceanfront
Restaurant, specializing in fresh local seafood and angus
steaks. Casual dining inside with an ocean view, or on the
boardwalk patio overlooking the Jax Beach Pier, Magellan?s
is sure to be an end of the year dining extravaganza. After
dinner visit DJs KG and Jade upstairs at the Atlantic
nightclub, then truck on across the courtyard to JB?s
premier Ocean Club. The OC will have party favors, a
champagne toast, and 4 DJs, inside and outside on the
boardwalk, in 4 different rooms. There?s a $20 cover charge,
but they?ll be partying till 4am!

If you want a change of pace, cruise across the street to
the Ritz, where there?s never a cover charge. Dance to the
music till 4am. The ?Jax Beach Triangle? ? Atlantic, Ocean
Club, and the Ritz ? party till 4 on the strip!

Also open till 4, one block away Eddie Bahamas is having a
Beach Party! Partake in Eddie?s excellent Caribbean cuisine,
and then dance till you drop at 4am! No cover charge at
Eddie?s! Jax Beach?s most loved band Mofro, a frequent
performer at our ?Springin? the Blues? festival, will be
appearing just down the street at FreeBird Live! (congrats
on the hall of fame thing). Mofro, with Eric Lindell will be
performing both Friday and Saturday. Dial 246.2473 for
details.

For those of you who just want to get on the ocean, have a
good meal, drink and do some gambling, SunCruz Casinos
offers 5 hour tours out of Mayport. Call 249.9300 for more
info, and be sure to pick up a voucher at the Holiday Inn
for a free boarding pass and a bunch of other free stuff.

Do yourself a favor and spend the night at the beach. Many
of the Hotels on Jax Beach still have rooms available for
the weekend. The Holiday Inn at 15th Ave. and 1st St. North
has rooms starting at $129. The Comfort Inn just next door
had 50 rooms on Thursday, and just dropped their rates to
$99. Quality Suites at Beach Blvd. and 1st Street is closest
to where the action is, and their rooms are starting at
$219, not bad when you consider all of their rooms are
?Suites?. Whatever you do, be safe! JBPD are some very
serious people.

The People of Jacksonville Beach are all about fun! Weather
your in town for the Gator Bowl, or just a hardy partying
local, you?ll find all the fun you need, right here in Jax
Beach, Fla!
