Top 10 Things To Do on Amelia Island This Summer

by Colleen Gerke

Amelia Island is a beautiful barrier island located off the coast of northeast Florida. It's a popular destination for beach lovers, golf enthusiasts, and history buffs alike.

In addition to being a top producer realtor on Amelia Island, I love living in Fernandina Beach, Florida and experiencing all the area has to offer including running, paddle boarding, playing tennis, and enjoying the quaint restaurants on Amelia Island. If you're planning to visit the Fernandina Beach and Amelia Island, Florida area this summer, here's my list Top 10 Things to I recommend doing when visiting:

  1. Spend a day at the beach. Amelia Island has some of the most beautiful beaches in Florida. With miles of shoreline, surfable waves, shark tooth hunting galore and plenty of sunshine, you're sure to have a great time swimming, sunbathing, and playing in the sand.
     
  2. Explore Fort Clinch State Park. Fort Clinch is a historic fort that was built during the Civil War. It's now a state park and offers visitors a chance to learn about the history of the island and explore the fort's many ruins.
  3. Take a walk or bike ride on the Amelia Island Egan's Creek Greenway. The Egan's Creek Greenway is a great place to spot wildlife, get some exercise and enjoy the natural habitat of Amelia Island.
  4. Visit the Fernandina Beach Museum of History. The Fernandina Beach Museum of History is a great place to learn about the history of Fernandina Beach. The museum has exhibits on the city's founding, its role in the Civil War, and its development into a popular tourist destination.
  5. Take a boat tour of the Amelia River. The Amelia River is a great place to see dolphins, manatees, and other wildlife. There are several companies that offer boat tours of the river.
  6. Go fishing. Amelia Island is a great place to go fishing. There are several charter companies that offer fishing trips. You can also fish from the beach or from the pier.
  7. Play golf. Amelia Island has several golf courses, including the Amelia Island Plantation Golf Club, which is a world-class course that has hosted several PGA Tour events.
     
  8. Enjoy the nightlife. Fernandina Beach has a vibrant nightlife scene. There are several bars and restaurants that stay open late, and there's often live music playing. 
  9. Shop at the shops and boutiques in Fernandina Beach. Fernandina Beach has a charming downtown area with a variety of shops and boutiques. You can find everything from souvenirs to high-end clothing and jewelry.
  10. Take a day trip to Cumberland Island National Seashore. Cumberland Island is a barrier island located just North of Amelia Island. It's a national seashore and is home to a variety of wildlife, including wild horses, dolphins, and sea turtles.
     

These are just a few of the many things you can do in Amelia Island in the summer. With its beautiful beaches, historic attractions, and vibrant nightlife, Amelia Island is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the summer weather.
