Quick Christmas Getaway!
Amelia Island, Florida
Fly into Jacksonville or drive on Interstate 95.
Resting just off the coast of northeast Florida, Amelia Island welcomes you to experience its rich, colorful history and breath-taking natural beauty. With 13-miles of beautiful beaches, abundant native wildlife, and pristine waters, this barrier island has long been a beloved destination for visitors and residents alike. In fact, Amelia Island was recently voted #6 among Top 10 North American Islands by Conde Nast Traveler's 2008 Reader's Choice Awards, making it the highest ranked island destination in Florida for two consecutive years.
The island's upscale resorts, world-class spas, championship golf, and exclusive dining blend effortlessly with a captivating collection of bed and breakfast inns, historic sites, and entertaining local festivals and events. Amelia Island is also home to Fernandina Beach, once a vibrant Victorian seaport village, and now a charming downtown district of eclectic shops, attractions and eateries. Florida's great outdoors is never greater than when enjoying kayaking and sunset sails, horseback riding on the beach, or hiking, biking and fishing on Amelia Island. For history buffs, the island's intriguing past is ever-present, whether visiting Florida's only spoken history museum, or roaming the walls of the 1,000-acre historic Fort Clinch.
Truly unique among Florida's many outstanding treasures, Amelia Island is an enchanting showcase of all that makes Florida great. Located merely 20 minutes from Jacksonville International Airport and 15 minutes from Interstate 95, the island offers a convenient location for travelers.
