2021 Fall Fun
Fall is finally here! It's time to sip on pumpkin flavored drinks, break out the cardigans, take a trip on a hay ride, get lost in a corn maze and of course, enjoy the cooler weather.

But, it can be a challenge to know where the best pumpkins are- so we've compiled a list of the top places to get your fall fun on! Check them out below.
Cajun Boil Express
Where: 14333 Beach Blvd
Cajun Boil Express is changing the way we think about eating seafood in Jax. The stereotypical seafood experience can be quite expensive and is usually very sit down style, and can be quite time consuming. At Cajun Boil Express they combine awesome new seafood flavors with an express/fast-casual style of eating that focuses on delivery, take-out, and online ordering. They’re home to the first seafood bowl in Jax! They're located off of Beach Blvd and we highly recommend their mouth-watering food, there’s nowhere better to satisfy your seafood craving for less than $15!
