Amelia Island is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, the Intracoastal Waterway, and Nassau Sound. A barrier island with 13 miles of beautiful beach front located just off the northeastern tip of Florida. Spanish settlers migrated to the island around 1566, which was originally inhabited by the Timucuan Indians. Amelia Island is just 35 minutes from downtown Jacksonville.

Fernandina Beach located in the northern section of the island once a pirate's haven, it is now a productive shrimping and fishing center. The 50 block section of the downtown area is a kaleidoscope of gorgeous Victorian and Queen Anne homes listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

The main beach located in Fernandina is the center of activity that includes free parking for picnics, swimming, playgrounds and a host of food concessions. This area is extremely popular for family outings.

The bustling downtown area has numerous vintage shops and charming boutiques. The Palace Saloon claims to be Florida's oldest watering hole. Live music bounces off the pressed tin ceilings and the mahogany bar once played host to the Carnegies and the duPonts.

Fort Clinch State Park is secluded and sports white sandy beaches and a fantastic fishing pier. There are 62 campsites available at this wonderful park. The island is surrounded by water, rolling sand dunes and lush vegetation.
