A 1,400-acre state park on Amelia Island's northern tip holding a well-preserved masonry fort begun in 1847, two beaches, a fishing pier, a mile-long oak-canopy entrance drive, campgrounds and trails. The island's single best half-day out.
About 300 acres of salt marsh, tidal creek and maritime hammock threaded with flat crushed-shell trails between Atlantic Avenue and Jasmine Street in Fernandina Beach. The island's best free wildlife walk, and reliably good for alligators and wading birds.

The island's history museum, housed in the former Nassau County jail on South 3rd Street in downtown Fernandina Beach. Interprets the Isle of Eight Flags story, the Timucua, the railroad and shrimping eras, and runs guided walking tours of the historic district.
Florida's oldest surviving lighthouse, standing on a bluff above Egans Creek off Lighthouse Circle in Fernandina Beach. Still an active aid to navigation and on private grounds — viewable from the street, with interior access only on limited scheduled tours.
The museum interpreting American Beach, the oceanfront community founded in 1935 by the Afro-American Life Insurance Company so that Black Floridians could reach a beach under segregation. Includes the story of Evans' Rendezvous and the protected NaNa dune.
Details unconfirmed
Cumberland Island National Seashore sits immediately north of Amelia Island across Cumberland Sound: eighteen miles of undeveloped beach, maritime forest, wild horses and the Dungeness ruins, reached by reserved ferry from St Marys, Georgia.
Details unconfirmed
A Centre Street bar in a 1903 building with a hand-carved mahogany bar, embossed tin ceiling and painted murals, carrying a long-standing claim to be Florida's oldest continuously operating drinking establishment.
The working marina at the foot of Centre Street on the Amelia River, with the shrimp fleet, boat tours and charters, a public boardwalk and the island's best sunset view. The reason downtown Fernandina Beach faces the water it does.
A National Park Service site in the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve, about 40 minutes south of Amelia Island, holding the oldest surviving plantation house in Florida and a semicircle of tabby cabins built and lived in by enslaved people.
Details unconfirmed
A Florida state park south of Amelia Island across Nassau Sound, best known for Boneyard Beach — a shoreline strewn with the bleached, salt-killed skeletons of fallen live oaks, one of the most photographed coastal landscapes in the state.
Details unconfirmed
One of the few remaining undeveloped barrier islands in northeast Florida, about 25 minutes south of Amelia Island: five miles of Atlantic beach, maritime forest and marsh trails, a campground, and no development behind the dune.
Details unconfirmed
Amelia Island's old burial ground north of downtown, established in the Spanish colonial period and still in use. Live oaks, Spanish moss and graves spanning the island's several nationalities — one of the quietest places on the island.
