If you dream of finding a wonderful vacation spot, Fernandina Beach is it. At the heart of Amelia Island, Fernandina Beach is located 32 miles northeast of Jacksonville and 192 miles north of Orlando.
Fernandina Beach is the perfect place for a charming getaway, where you will find 13 miles of beautiful beaches, a 50-block area of Victorian homes, which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places and so much more.
There is an abundance of things to do and see here. Water activities include swimming, boating, fishing, skiing and sailing. On land, you can enjoy biking, hiking, trailing, horseback riding on the beach and nature tours. At the resorts, you will find the nation’s finest golf and tennis.
Children will enjoy a visit to the Plantation Nature Center, which has many hands-on educational programs, or they may like a boat tour to Cumberland Island to watch wild horses play.
At Fort Clinch State Park, you can see cannons, jail cells, a blacksmith and hospital, a small slice of Fernandina's rich history.
If romance is what you're looking for, experience a sunset cruise aboard the Voyager Ventures, which offers two-hour or all day cruises.
You can find accommodations at a number of Fernandina's resorts or quaint Bed and Breakfast inns. Stroll down historic Centre Street for lots of great shopping or antiquing.
You must visit The Palace Saloon, which dates back to 1878 and was once a favorite spot for the Vanderbilts, DuPonts and Carnegies. Drinks are still served from its 40-foot hand-carved mahogany bar.
Fernandina Beach is just the place to spend your next vacation.
