A golfer’s paradise, Amelia Island, is located just off the coast of Florida. One of the top Amelia Island attractions is its array of lovely beaches. Head to Fernandina Beach or one of the state parks, including Fort Clinch and Big Talbot Island, for a day of relaxation, swimming, and sunbathing. Here, you can also jog, hike, cycle, and more. On the water, there are plenty of fun things to do on Amelia Island. Visitors can enjoy dolphin-watching, sailing, kayaking, and horseback-riding. Another option is to play a few rounds of golf at one of the many courses around the island, including Amelia River Golf Club and Fernandina Beach Golf Club.

Guests at Amelia Island hotels should also pay a visit to the Amelia Island historic district. Stroll along the lovely streets and visit excellent surrounding attractions. Tour the Amelia Island Museum of History, the Amelia SanJon Gallery, and the Maritime Museum of Amelia Island. Then, go shopping at the Shops at Amelia Island Plantation or at the Palmetto Walk Shopping Village. Plus, grab dinner downtown or at one of the many beach restaurants with a stunning view of island sunsets and accompanied by a local brew.
