We drove to the northern part of the island. We found easy parking and interesting viewing. Great way to spend a few hours wondering the streets. We found plenty of eateries around, too. Watch the sunset over the marina area. Great! More

This is our first visit and we love it! We were looking for a more laid back, less party crowd to visit than say, Panama City Beach or Destin, and we found it! We very much enjoyed the history here. We hope to make it back soon. Highly recommend! More

While waiting for our Amelia Island Museum of History Ghost Tour we walked the downtown area exploring the shops and taking in dinner. The walking tour offered a great way to explore some of the residential areas. More

This is a quaint downtown area filled with a handfull of nice restuarants, bars and shops. Starbucks is not downtown however Seattles Best(owned by Starbucks) has a nice store. Not much tilted towards the history of the community, but geared towards the tourist trade. The whole Island has history which can be better appreciated by other venues. Overall, for the... More

The perfect little town with shops, cafes, restaurants and stuff to buy an be happy with. From the ice cream shop to the old train station and the Christmas store it is a treat to live here. Throughout the year a few festivals punctuate the peaceful life, and in the season, sounds-on-center turn main street into a small club every... More

It's always a pleasure to park along the shaded streets and take a stroll towards the water...

Don't be in a hurry. Just enjoy. More

I visited Amelia Island for the first time with a group of five medical students over our spring break. We were looking to "get away from it all" and relax, and Amelia Island definitely fits that bill. The historic district specifically is very cute. We enjoyed walking around, having a few beers and buying a few random knickknacks. There appear... More
