🌿 HIDDEN TRAIL that leads to a secret beach with sandbar views!👀👇

The road back is rugged, so we teamed up with , a trusted Jacksonville car dealership on the Southside, to find the ultimate adventure SUV: the Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy 🚘

📍 How to find this Jacksonville hidden gem:
1️⃣ Take Palmetto Ave on Fort George Island until it turns into Edgewood Drive
2️⃣ Continue onto Fort George-Ribault Road
3️⃣ Parking lot coordinates: 30.43502° N, 81.43087° W (Before the Ribault club)
4️⃣ Short hike to the beach! Fairway loop trail - Head down a flight of stairs to Point Isabel, where you’ll find the secret beach!
🚫 Strong tides and currents can happen around the inlet, so we’re not recommending swimming to the sandbar
