Hundred-year-old moss-covered live oak trees, 40-foot sand dunes, marshes, and a lush natural setting make this the perfect "get away" place. Located at the northeastern-most point of Florida, Amelia Island boasts a rich history, 13 miles of unspoiled beaches and many recreational activities. One of the best ways to see the island is by bicycle, allowing you to explore areas not accessible by car.

From Amelia you can discover nearby Fernandina Beach, a charming, historic seaport town that is now home to an eclectic shopping district and charming bed & breakfast inns. Cumberland Island is a pristine and wholly undisturbed nature preserve where you can experience Florida's beauty in its purest form.

Amelia Island's developers are all dedicated to preserving its unique history. It is well worth the effort, and you will certainly be glad they did.
