Ranked among the 10 Most Beautiful Beaches in the World, Amelia Island is one of Florida's best-kept secrets. With it’s slow, Southern charm, beautiful Victorian homes, and miles of salt marshes and beaches it’s no wonder that Southern Living Magazine describes historic Fernandina Beach as 'one of the most charming little towns in Florida”. Just 35 miles from downtown Jacksonville, and a short 30-minute drive to the airport, Amelia offers the quiet of a small island while providing convenience of the big city. Fun activities abound, making Amelia a year-round vacation destination. Whether it’s tennis, fishing, water sports, horseback riding, biking, hiking, kayaking, seashell hunting, shopping, or just relaxing, you can do it on Amelia Island. Historic Fernandina, just a 1.5 mile bike ride away from this home, features outstanding sightseeing, horse-drawn carriage rides, a casino cruise ship, over 50 shops, and more than 20 restaurants.

Dining choices include everything from local seafood houses to the 5 diamond Grill Room at the Ritz-Carlton. Less than 200 yards from the beach and 5 minutes from the public pool, many activities are walking-distance. The 1,100-acre Ft. Clinch State Park is literally the back yard, where you can visit the fishing pier, hike or bike on 11 miles of paved and unpaved trails, and explore the Civil War fort. Oceanfront Park is just a couple of blocks away, with beach front restaurants, basketball courts, miniature golf, a waterfront playground, and other family activities.
