Meet Visit Jax Insider: Amy Kennelly

I love how large and diverse Jacksonville is. This city holds a lot of history and is constantly evolving.

1. What do you love most about Jacksonville?

We have a plethora of sports teams, venues, restaurants and attractions. Our fishery is like no other as our inshore and offshore are equally thriving. We are also blessed to have one of the best hospitals in the world, the Mayo Clinic!

2. What is one thing you tell a visitor that they must see/do when in Jax?

Get on the water! You will be amazed by the beauty and amount of wildlife that Jacksonville has to offer.

3. Where is your favorite local spot to eat?

My favorite local spot to eat is Singletons Seafood Shack. I am all about that fresh local Mayport Shrimp!
