  Very unique buildings - some of the mansions would be worth a tour but not sure if that is an option. Enjoyed driving around the neighbourhoods. Lots of restaurants in old buildings.

  My husband's aunt took us to Amelia Island during our trip to Jacksonville. Since he and I are big fans of antique shopping and finding eclectic stores, Amelia Island was the perfect stop during our trip. Just a short ferry away, Amelia Island is tucked away and even the ride through the island is completely relaxing. Once you make your way to the historic district, you can see the relaxing and care-free atmosphere throughout the town. Filled with quaint storefronts, art galleries and tourist-y shops, Amelia Island has a whole day's worth of shopping. Be sure to stop by the several antique shops!

  Really enjoyed the quaintness of the small town. The people, visitors and locals were very friendly. All around feeling was relaxing and enjoyable! I visited several times during my visit.

  Lots of quaint little shops, bars and restaurants. We had lunch at Hola!. Their Cuban Sammie is awesome, of course I flooded mine with Mojo sauce which was on the table. Yum! Wasn't too impressed with the Green Turtle Tavern. Locals place with no room at the bar because either dogs are sitting in the chairs or folks not drinking, just talking. I will take my business elsewhere, thank you. Trailer park collectibles is neat, lots of stuff to look at.

  There was a travel group from Road Scholars at my hotel. I asked them about their trip and they said they had been touring around the area and over into Georgia and had seen and learned so much. I used to work for the Historical Preservation Program in my home state and I am so grateful to the residents in this area for the efforts they have made to keep up so many historical sites. If you go, watch for the home with wrap around porch that has old carousel horses mounted on the posts. I had been in Jacksonville, FL the day before to take my mother to Mayo Clinic. I thought it would be nice to drive the extra 40 some miles north to see this lovely community. So glad we did. Will be going back for a longer visit. I bet the old downtown area is beautiful at Christmas.

  Very quaint , lots of shops, and restaurants on the Main Street, but if you walk down the side street you will find some really spectacular old homes and cottages.

  We walked through the town after our lunch and went down by the waterfront. It was very nice and there was great ice cream at the fudge store.

  Husband and I enjoyed our week here. Came into this area several times to shop and dine. It is a charming town and everyone is helpful and welcoming. The buildings are lovely and well restored-and even the public restrooms are clean.

  Amelia Island's historic district in Fernandina Beach is great. Lots of places to shop, great eating locations and a funny place to visit. Put your walking shoes on, if you are hungry, many restaurantsTo choose from, especially for dinner. Very enjoyable location.

  So historic, so walkable, easy to get around in and to get to. Great little shops and restaurants, all local and no chains! Very dog friendly as well.
