Situated along 13 miles of pristine, picturesque Atlantic coastline, Amelia Island is the southernmost of the Sea Islands, a chain of barrier islands along the eastern U.S. seaboard. Claimed by the French, fought over by Spain, and named for an English princess, this legendary island is a storied place sought after for hundreds of years. Today Amelia Island and its city, Fernandina Beach, remain an authentic Victorian seaport village, locked in the charm and enchantment of a bygone era.
On Amelia Island, the opportunity for adventure awaits around every corner. Whether you enjoy chasing adventure in the water, along the beach, or through a forest of massive live oaks, you will be tempted by your surroundings. Embark on a sunset cruise down the Amelia River, partake in a seaside game of golf, kayak through Amelia’s salt marshes, go for a bike ride through ancient maritime forests, or enjoy an evening carriage ride though Fernandina Beach’s historic district. With a warm, mild climate year-round and endless activities, Amelia Island is the ideal place for fun and rejuvenation.
Amelia Island’s wide range of retailers offer treasures you won’t find anywhere else. Local shops, antique stores, and galleries abound. You’ll find everything you’re looking for – from handmade items to the brands you covet and things you’ve never seen. The island is full of shopping destinations.
The variety of dining options will satisfy even the most selective taste. An eclectic mix of cuisine ranges from Japanese fusion and Provencal-inspired to Italian and Coastal Fusion. Diners can choose from over 40 restaurants ranging from waterfront seafood dives for an authentic shrimp Po’ Boy sandwich, culinary masterpieces presided over by world-renowned chefs, and the quiet intimacy of a romantic bistro.
Amelia Island is located at Florida’s northeastern shore, just 15 miles east of Interstate 95, and is a short, 30-minute drive from Jacksonville International Airport.
