Fernandina Beach

Visit Amelia Island, on Florida’s eastern border, and stop by Fernandina Beach! This quaint town is the perfect getaway for those who want to experience private beaches, cute shops and restaurants, all spread around gorgeous and graceful architectural designs.

Here, many of the buildings are listed in the National Register of Historic Places and pre-date the 20th century, so get ready for a walk along the 55 block historic zone, you won’t find another similar place no matter where you go in the Sunshine State.

If you still hadn’t had enough of history you could even take a horse-drawn carriage ride through Center Street, just make sure to end your evening at the Palace Saloon. Why? Well, it’s the state’s oldest continuously operated drinking establishment!

Those who need more reasons to go for long walks make sure to stop by the visitor’s center to pick up a brochure that details a historical walking tour through the city.
