Green Cove Springs is a charming riverside town on the St. Johns River with a walkable historic downtown, waterfront spring park, cozy cafés and regular community events — ideal for multi-week assignments when you want relaxed evenings, easy outdoors time (kayaking, fishing, bike paths) and a friendly small-town vibe.
For weekend variety, Jacksonville (≈25 miles north) and historic St. Augustine (≈30–35 miles southeast) offer bigger-city dining, museums, nightlife and beaches within easy reach.
