[quote=motivated]I don't know about hotels, but I was in Jax recently with my Hobie. At Beach Boulevard (which is also 1st Avenue), there's a big lifeguard station/American Red Cross building (across from Joe's Crab Shack) with beach access. They allowed me to back my truck onto the beach to put in and take out (how cool is that?). I just found someone who worked there (they all wear uniforms) and let them know what I was doing. They were very friendly.
Next door to the Red Cross building, there's Quality Suites Hotel and it looks fairly new from the outside. Across from the Hotel, there's a huge, free public parking lot where I kept the truck and trailer while I was out sailing. I suppose you might check out that hotel, it looked like a nice place.
The Hotel is directly north of the Red Cross station. The parking lot is due west from the hotel.
Check out Google Maps, find where Beach Boulevard hits the shore, and switch to the Satellite View. This might also work:
