What is in Northeastern Florida?
Well truthfully, a couple big cities, some swamp land, and some beaches the further you head east. While scorching hot, Florida does have some really cool places with old spanish archetechture, opportunities to get imersed with nature, and some uniqu...
Fernandina Beach, or also sometimes referred to as Amelia Island (they are close to one another), is a quaint little town with shopping, good places to eat, and bits of entertainment. I grew up vacationing here as a kid and the beach stretches for mi...
Fernandina Beach
St. Augustine, probably one of the most known on the Florida East Coast. Plenty to do here for all ages - but let me go over some of my favorite underrated spots to help you out.
St. Augustine
Green Cove Springs - kind of considered to be Jacksonville, kind of not. Depends on who you ask. Another cute little coastal-esque town not too far off the coast but far enough to get away from all the tourists.
Green Cove Springs
Fernandina Beach, FL
My favorite quaint town. Here are a list of my favorite places to visit, to eat and to shop.
This state park is so gorgeous - take your family, go take photos and frolic on the beach one night. Yes there is giant driftwood scattered upon the beach. For a more precise location for the driftwood beach, locate "Boneyard Beach." All of the Flori...
Big Talbot Island State Park
Non-negotiable requirement for visiting here. You have to go, it is so delicious. Ice Cream parlor & homemade fudge shop. You can watch them make fudge right in front of you as well! They have some other homemade chocolate goods as well as coffee...
Fantastic Fudge
Higher end pizza & italian restaurant - very worth the price though. The manicotti is definitely an old Nona's recipe.
Arte Pizza
Big Ol' Fort - lots of hiking and education about the fort. You can hike all the way out to the water and see a good variety of birds and wildlife!
Fort Clinch State Park
Beautiful cemetary with lots of Spanish Moss, really relaxing peaceful place to walk around.
Bosque Bello Cemetery
Cute bar, but specifically they have an outdoor tiki hut bar with views of the beach and a wide variety of alcohol to choose from.
Sliders Seaside Grill
St. Augustine, FL
Hands down my favorite place in St. Augustine - if you don't mind a little walk or short drive from downtown. GRILLED CHEESE & ARCADE BAR all in one. That's it. Good late night stop & rotating seasonal goodies on tap.
Sarbez!
This place helps me get my New Orleans fix when I am not in New Orleans - the red beans and rice is legit!
Harry's Seafood, Bar & Grille
This hotel was perfect for walking over the bridge into town & sitting on the water to watch the sunset & more.
Edgewater Inn
Must do! This lighthouse is beautiful from the top and they offer night time ghost tours.. spppoooky!
St. Augustine Lighthouse & Maritime Museum - Google Maps
The cutest little walk-up bar with some cute themed cocktails, lots of options but all the drinks come with a complimentary duckie!
The Tipsy Duck Parlor
Right on the main street and one of my favorite coffee shops for sure
City Perks Coffee Co. - Google Maps
This is the most beautiful shrine I have ever seen - worth it to stop in and take a look. Pristine and beautiful work, hidden in a small little alleyway.
St. Photios Shrine Greek Orthodox National Shrine
Another beautiful Florida State Park with great amenities and clean beautiful beaches.
Anastasia State Park - Google Maps
Green Cove Springs, FL
The cutest riverfront park that connects to a public pier!
Spring Park - Google Maps
Very cute bubble tea shop!
The Pink Peony
Always down for a cool sno-cone on a hot day... so many flavors to choose from!
Pelican's SnoBalls- Green Cove Springs - Google Maps
Cutest theater front to take photos in front of if you are looking for a picture spot!
