A1A Beachfront Avenue! (now you're singing Ice Ice Baby) One of the neatest things a fellow Navy spouse introduced me to was hunting for shark teeth on A1A Beach. During the 7 years we spent stationed at Naval Station Mayport , we managed to collect a jar of shark teeth. It is one of the neatest things we have as a reminder of our days on the Atlantic coast. Its also a fantastic thing to take visitors to do. My favorite shark tooth beach is off of Solano Road in Ponte Vedra, not far from Jacksonville Beach. Shark Tooth Beach is located in a neighborhood where Solano Road meets the Atlantic O... read more

After living in Virginia Beach, VA for a while now, I have finally found the most amazing fresh fish tacos. Gringos is a-hole-in-the-wall taqueria that knows how to make mouth watering Fish Tacos. They serve Baja-Style tacos, a term referring to California, which places an emphasis on fresh ingredients. This is not your greasy Tex-Mex, but more of a Fresh Mex style of Mexican Food. This tiny restaurant only has 6 tables and is about the size of a bedroom, however they have proven you can increase quality of ingredients by serving fewer guests. I found this place a few years ago and was amazed... read more
