Amelia Island, Florida

 

Get ready for the tranquility of an uncrowded beach, striking marshland and a whole lot of sea, sun and well-deserved Bowen fun. Just off the coast of northeast Florida lies the relaxing oasis of Amelia Island, the southernmost jewel in the Sea Island chain. Start dreaming of uninterrupted pristine Atlantic beaches, lush walkways surrounded by giant oak trees draped in Spanish moss, and time for golf, fishing, beachcombing and lounging by the pool. 

 

Just over 18 square miles, this is the only place in America that has lived under the dominion of eight different flags. The island is home to Civil War-era Fort Clinch, the refuge from segregation that is American Beach, and to the 50-block Fernandina Beach Historic District--a thriving neighborhood rich with eclectic shops, restaurants, breweries and museums. Here you can visit one of the finest surviving Victorian courthouses in Florida; step back in time at the Amelia Island Museum of History, built in 1878 as the Nassau County Jail; pop into The Palace Saloon, the oldest operating saloon in the state; or get a taste of handcrafted liquors at the local distillery.

​

New celebration trip memories await here where the sand is a little softer, the air a little crisper and life is just a little sweeter along the shore.
