Sites to see and do in Amelia Island, the cutest little beach town
A favorite dive bar with live music and an open patio seating area. Drinks are well priced and it’s just a fun environment. We’ve never ordered food here and I don’t think I’ve ever seen it served. It’s just a people watching, music listening, grab a...
Green Turtle Tavern
Fun stop at Florida’s oldest bar. It’s connected to two other spaces, a pool bar and then a really nice outdoor courtyard space. The courtyard has live music and a nice seating area. They had food trucks for food options. Low key, casual space if you...
The Palace Saloon | Amelia Island
Located at the end of the street over looking the marina, if you can grab a window view it’s the epitome of a vacation vibe. Lots of food options including seafood. Super busy so go early or see if they are taking reservations.
The Salty Pelican - Seafood Bar and Grill
A touch more upscale than some of the other options I’ve listed. They often have live music as well. Indoor and outdoor seating and bar areas. A bit more pricey for both drinks and food. Fun environment and always busy, especially in peak season. Go ...
The Boat House - Fernandina Beach, FL
So much to unpack here. They offer camping or if you just want to tour the fort you can do that too. Traditional bathrooms are offered at the fort visitor center. You can circle around the back end of the vistor center to access the beaches. Locals g...
Fort Clinch State Park in Fernandina Beach | VISIT FLORIDA
We live in a coastal area but every time I come to main beach at Amelia, I’m impressed. Parking, bathrooms and a little playground without having to pay an entry fee is nearly unheard of in 2026. Enjoy the day. Pack a lunch and your drinks. Don’t for...
Main Beach Park
Things that make beach days easier
Keep those toddlers busy on the sand with these cute toys. I love that this one comes with a watering can
Beach Toys Set 12 PCS - Bucket, Shovel, Rake
Please be safe with your little ones at the beach. They can truly get away from you fast and even decent swimmers can struggle with the waves.
AEOCOO Toddler Swim Vest & Arm Floaties
Kids love to fill and pour this out on the sand. Over and over again
Hape Sand and Beach Toy Watering Can Toys, Green
For all your treasures. The sand sifter is so useful to find shells ans shark’s teeth
2 PCS Beach Mesh Shovel & Bag Shark Tooth Sifter
Our boys 8 and up love to skim at the beach. It takes practice but even now in their 20’s it’s something they bring along to every beach day
36” Skipper Skimboard Wooden with Traction Pad
If your kids can’t use a skim board this is the very next requested item. A bougie board. There are cheaper options out there if you are only doing a day trip. Otherwise get a quality one you can use for multiple seasons
GYMAX Body Boards 33"/37"/41" with EPS Foam Core
We pack these in our bag every time because Amelia has great shark tooth hunting. They keep you from bending down every few seconds and while that doesn’t sound to hard, it is after an hour or so. You’ll miss so many potential finds once you get tire...
