@Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island

Fernandina Beach: The "Isle of 8 Flags" may have been controlled by eight different nations. It's been an incorporated town here, in Florida since 1825. The history of this city in Northeast Florida goes much, much farther back. Many of the 19th-century buildings remain in the charming downtown district. Click 'Resources' for additional Fernandina Beach details and photo opportunities. "This enchanting Victorian seaport village was once a stomping ground for pirates, Gilded Age millionaires, bootleggers, shrimpers, and other colorful characters" (see guide below)

​Very nice town with shops and dining. Walking the streets, visiting the church and having a drink in Florida's Oldest Bar - the Palace Saloon, makes it worth the trip. Don't forget, a short drive away is the lighthouse on the Amelia island which you must catch at sunrise! Note: this lighthouse is the oldest lighthouse in Florida and is located in a fence US Government area (but if you're adventurous you may find a gap/hole in the fence).

Photo Ops:
  • Main Street
  • St Peters Church - interior and exterior
  • Te Palace Saloon
  • Amelia Island Lighthouse 
  • Sunrise by the Pier
