Home to the beautiful lakefront retirement community of Selva Marina Country Club and Fleet Landing, Atlantic Beach is a popular home for many retired professionals from the military services and government.  Although Atlantic Beach is primarily residential, the place where Neptune and Atlantic beaches meet, known locally as "The Corner," offers a pleasing mix of restaurants and entertainment spots.  The corridors along Atlantic Boulevard and A1A add an abundance of restaurants, strip malls, hotels, and churches. Revitalization throughout the beach communities has resulted in new private and public developments.  Nearly 65 acres of lush parkland complements the community's two miles of white-sand beaches.  The city also sponsors a medley of activities and programs for residents of all ages and interests.  Opportunities include youth baseball and softball, flag football, theatre programming and classes, campouts, a tree lighting ceremony during the holidays, First Night event on New Year's Eve, and the spring Easter egg hunt.
