Fernandina Beach is located on Amelia Island along the Intracoastal Waterway in northeast Florida. This quiet, little town is relatively undiscovered, although it's only a short 35 minute drive north of Jacksonville. One of the oldest sites in the Florida park system is located here at the north end of the island - Fort Clinch State Park. The 1,100-acre park has a nature trail, campsites, fishing, swimming, hiking, and candlelight tours of the historic fort. Fernandina Beach has boutiques, art galleries, antique shops and a remarkable 50 block area with Victorian homes built in the late 1800s. Streets are lined with towering oaks draped in Spanish moss.Outdoor restaurants offer spectacular ocean views. A short walk south on the beach from the house will take you to old fashioned Main beach at Wolf Park with a boardwalk, picnic tables, playground, and lifeguards plus a new skate park .While you're there, head downtown and sample the local cafe's including Cafe Karibo, The Marina Seafood Restaurant, Bretts Waterway Cafe (located directly on the marina waterway), 29 South on South 3rd St, and the hidden "locals only know" T- Rays Burger Station (and fish) on 8th street in an Exxon Station.
