SWITZERLAND / FRUIT COVE
Due east directly across the St. Johns
River from Clay County in the Northwest section of St. Johns County are Switzerland
and Fruit Cove. Bound on the north by Julington
Creek, the southern boundary of Duval County, Switzerland and Fruit Cove are
beautifully nestled along the east banks of the St. Johns River. This area
is primarily a bedroom community for both Jacksonville and St. Augustine and
features single-family residences in a variety of subdivisions. The lack of
commercial development in the area and the preservation of the scenic Bartram
Trail (Highway 13), appeal to residents and newcomers alike.
