Breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner. Coffee, bars, desserts, and other sweets. Healthy eats, shopping, and the beach. You'll have easy access to so many options. The biggest challenge is deciding where to go. The second is the parking. There are paid spots across several blocks, and some restaurants have valet. Definitely one of my most favorite areas.

They also have a few stores to shop in as well. Have fun and be safe.

I've been shopping at Navy Exchanges for over 20 years and found great deals on all kinds of items…read morethrough those years. In fact, prior to Covid, this NEX was always busy and always worth a visit. I will have to say in the two cities that I lived in after Covid (San Diego and JAX), the NEX overall has not been the same. The change-out of items (seasonal for example) is not as frequent, but to the NEX's credit, nice 40% off sales are much more frequent and scratch cards too. It is much slower at this NEX than it was on my last Navy tour in San Diego. Perhaps most people are shopping internet now, as there are great deals to be found there too. But military members and retirees will have to pay tax for items on the internet, not at the NEX. It is a blessing that the Exchange is tax-free for those of us who have served. For people to shop here, they must be active or retired with 20 plus years of service. But there are some other qualifications too, but anyone who can shop here would see the privilege stamp on their military ID card, including spouses. I visit here usually twice a week. After my workout at nearby gym, it's easy to visit and sometimes frequency brings great deals for me or the perfect items in my size before they get seized by someone who came to the NEX ahead of me (once your size is gone, you won't see it again). I like checking out the clothing area - they do have some very good brand names here. Kuhl, Carhartt, 511, Columbia, Nike, Adidas, Under Armour, Vans, and more! I like to look for shoes as well. I find the supply rather limited but I have found some good Sketchers pairs at times. I get my vitamins here generally, electronics items as well. Though the shop is not as busy as it used to be, it still wouldn't be wise for military sorts who have shopping privileges to shop here to avoid it. They would certainly lose great opportunities to save money. On another topic, in the passage area to the NEX there are a few shops of high use for me as well. One is the ball cap area - it has excellent military ball caps for those who serve(d) in all branches of service. Also, there is a card shop, souvenir shop, and furniture/bed shop too. In general, the staff here is friendly. Most are quite helpful when you need assistance or missed a discount at the counter. In the meantime, I'll keep stopping by after my gym visits to see when I can strike a golden deal here again! Recommend: MED-HIGH

It has been a long time since I was last in a Navy Exchange or Commissary. I was with my mom, who…read morehas retiree benefits, but it has been more than two decades since I was in the Navy, so my access has been limited to places like this for a long time. For some reason, the Navy has never had a strong attachment to their ability to provide for their sailors, and realistically it would be nice if NEX and AAFES would simply join forces properly and become the providers for all the military branches. This is the second NEX that I know of that is located outside the bounds of a base... the other is on the West side of Orlando International Airport. But enough of that... let's take a look at this store. I guess that this is a smaller store because it only has to provide for naval personnel out of Mayport, which is not really a large base. If personnel need something that this store cannot provide, they can head over to the larger store on Jacksonville NAS. As such, the Exchange provides minimal items, mostly uniform provisions, and then the commissary provides some level of food. However, when looking at the prices that both of these stores have, unless you need uniform items you are probably just as well off to go to your local grocery store or Walmart. The exterior court that is common with every exchange I have been in was kind of dismal as well... the only real operating store there was the barber shop, which isn't surprising (I did feel a bit out of place with my hair cascading down to my shoulders... I haven't had my hair that short since I got out of the Navy!) So... not really a lot of selection, not a great price performance thing, so not worth going to these shops for any real reason. However, it was interesting to see them and compare to what I remember from days long ago.

I frequent this shopping center between various businesses. This plaza has the closest Publix to my…read morehouse, as well as Wells Fargo, Tires Plus, Burger King, Ace Hardware and various other businesses. John and I frequent Jerry's Sports Bar and Sienna's Italian Restaurant as well. This center has multiple access points along Atlantic and one on Hodges. The Hodges access can be problematic if you are turning left into or left out of- too many accidents happen between the cross traffic. I avoid making a left in or out of the center from this point. Also- the parking lot is odd at the Eastern/Hodges end- there is a curve and split upon entry to either go straight into the parking or curve towards the front lane driving along the storefronts; you naturally want to go straight- but then are forced to make a left and right to get back in front of the businesses. Unless you are going to one of the first 4 stores, it's inconvenient. The plaza is older, but has plenty to offer. We have even used the dry cleaners here. I also frequent the Ace and the bank. I am in this center at least once a week.

I picked up a few pre-made salads in the produce section. Stopped through the freezer aisle for orange sherbert to make a fruit punch. And picked up 7UP for the punch too. I also purchased eggs, butter, red wine vinegar and olive oil. I was in and out in about 10 minutes, and my bill was $31.46. I used self check out, with no wait. This store is a few years old now, but it's clean and still in good condition. The restroom was the cleanest and nicest smelling I've seen in any Walmart and is located beside the produce section. I recommend this location, especially if you don't want to walk a mile for a few items.
