Amelia Island Beaches have over 13 miles of coastline with more than 40 public beach access points! Free parking and major facilities are at the public parks like Main Beach Park, Seaside Park and Peters Point Beachfront Park.
If you want to find some cool shells or shark teeth this is the place to do it! Fort Clinch State Park is a premier destination for hunting fossilized shark teeth. The Atlantic dredging and beach nourishment projects consistently wash up black and gray fossilized teeth. The most productive time to hunt is during low tide.
Walk around, shop, dine, etc in historic downtown Fernandina Beach! There are so many cool stores, coffee shops, bars, restaurants to visit! The marina is at the very end of Centre street with some restaurants like the Salty Pelican that overlook it, or grab a drink at Florida's oldest bar, The Palace Saloon! If you are planning to stay at The Hampton Inn, it is right in the heart of downtown and steps from all the good bars and restaurants!
Amelia Island has some amazing public golf courses like:
1. The Amelia River Club
2. Fernandina Beach Golf Club
