Just thirty miles north of Jacksonville, Amelia Island offers a rare combination of unspoiled coastline, deep history, world-class dining, championship golf, and authentic small-town character. From Florida's oldest saloon to two distinct state parks, from sunrise beaches to sunset marinas — this is a place where every day offers a new way to enjoy the island.
For an island of its size, Amelia Island's culinary range is remarkable — celebrated chef-driven kitchens, family-run favorites, world-class wine bars, and Florida's oldest saloon all within a few walkable blocks downtown.
Tucked into downtown Fernandina Beach, Wicked Bao serves up Southeast Asian street fare that has put Amelia Island's dining scene on the national map. Owner and Taiwanese native Nathalie Wu delivers small plates, noodle bowls, and signature steamed baos drawn from the flavors of Taiwan and Singapore. Currently the #1 ranked restaurant on the island — and a regular favorite of locals and visitors alike.

Amelia Island holds a unique place in American history: it is the only location in the United States to have flown eight different national flags. From the French explorers who first claimed it in 1562, through Spanish, British, Patriot, Mexican Revolutionary, Confederate, and finally American rule, the island has been at the crossroads of empires, rebellions, and pirates for nearly five centuries.
That layered history is still visible today — in the original Spanish street grid of downtown Fernandina, the Confederate-era Fort Clinch, the Victorian-era seaport architecture, and a culture shaped by every flag that flew here.
Amelia Island is bracketed by two distinct Florida state parks — one at each end. Together they preserve some of the most beautiful natural landscapes on Florida's Atlantic coast.
A 1,400-acre coastal preserve crowned by a remarkably preserved 19th-century brick fortress. Towering live oak canopies, salt marshes, and wide Atlantic beaches make this one of Florida's most diverse state parks. Wildlife is everywhere — deer, raccoons, rabbits, and shorebirds at every turn.
A 232-acre coastal park preserving the island's southern tip in its natural state. Best known as one of the few places in Florida where you can ride horseback along the Atlantic shoreline — a bucket-list experience for visitors and locals alike.
Surrounded by the Atlantic on one side and miles of intracoastal waterway on the other, Amelia Island offers some of the best fishing and recreational boating on the East Coast — all year round.
The salt marshes and tidal creeks around the island are famous for trophy redfish and seatrout. Sight-fishing the flats is a year-round draw for serious anglers.
A short run offshore puts you in productive water for wahoo, grouper, snapper, mahi, and more — with charter fleets running daily out of Fernandina Harbor Marina.
Protected intracoastal waters surround the island — perfect for day cruising, sunset sails, paddleboarding, and exploring the historic creeks and waterways.
Few small islands in America offer this much quality golf within a 20-minute drive — from a beloved municipal course to two world-class resort destinations, plus an Arnold Palmer signature design just over the bridge.
From oceanfront luxury new construction to villas next door to the Ritz-Carlton — let me show you the homes that make Amelia Island the place to be.
