The beaches are expected to be packed this weekend.
Jacksonville officials are asking anyone that is heading out to the beach this holiday weekend to be aware of possible rip currents.
The City of Jacksonville Emergency Preparedness and Homeland Security tweeted Saturday, May 29, that the beaches have a yellow flag.
A yellow flag means that conditions in the water are moderate with possible rip currents.
