My husband & I made a special trip to visit Amelia Island on March 14th this year. We were on our way back home from Clearwater, Florida. Access getting to the actual Beach, from the parking lot, is rather narrow, before opening up along the true Beach. There honestly isn't much there, but would be alright if you're a fisherman!...

I love taking the kids to the beach and when we are in Jacksonville this is a must go to beach. Mainly because it's off the beaten path a little and you can drive on the beach. If you want to make a day at the beach you can drive on the beach, park and have all your stuff right... More

The beaches were clean. The people who live in the area appear to really care about it. We saw several folks strolling with trash bags to pick up any they saw on the beach. We saw many different species of birds and sea shells. Great for a peaceful vacation or romantic getaway.

Went to the state park while visiting Amelia Island. Great beach, white sands, undeveloped beaches. Great for a getaway!

Here is the secret.. Amelia Island State Park is OK. You can ride on the beach BUT you need a 4 wheel drive. BUT right across the bridge is Talbot Island. WOW !!! This is a maritime forest that is slowly plunging into the ocean and since the trees are cedar they "petrify" on the beach leaving a fantastic place... More

Decided to come to the park with the three kids. A few points.... first, it's only two bucks a person to come in, but it's honor system and there is no change. We enjoyed the walk on the beach, but picked up quite a bit of trash and debris along the way. This is not a place to bring kids... More
