General Information
Huguenot Park, also affectionately known as Jibe City Jacksonville, is a 5-5.5 hr. drive from Atlanta. A great flatwater spot (with no jetskis) in a small bay that's great for working on jibes. Ocean sailing is also available on the outside. Check tidal tables before going as when the tide is out the sailing is VERY limited in the tidal basin. When it's in, it's great. Camping is no longer available at the park because of budget cuts. You can camp at Little Talbot Park (251-2320) just down the road.
Recommended Wind Directions
NE, E and NW work very well here.
Legacy Directions
Local Tips
There is a modest entry fee. You can also sail in either the ocean or the river if you wish. If you park along the water, make sure you park above the high tide line.
