Amelia Island's beaches have long been a source of beauty, enjoyment and wonder, and unlike many Florida beaches, Amelia Island offers virtually unlimited access to its coast. Visitors will experience an unparalleled sense of calm and peace as they stroll along the 13 miles of pristine beach. Amelia Island’s entire length along the Atlantic Coast is available for running, walking or just sitting and enjoying.

The dunes along the beach bring not only a sense of privacy and isolation from the outside world, but also a special beauty found nowhere but Amelia Island. Awaken to beautiful sunrises over the Atlantic from your balcony or on the beach. It’s a feeling that is both exhilarating and calming.

Along the beach are miles of head-high dunes that are topped with beautiful -- and protected -- sea oats waving in the gentle wind. The most temperate location in Florida, Amelia Island enjoys both ocean and river breezes that keep its beaches pleasant not only in the hottest but also in the coolest times of year.

Just as the Spanish, French, English and Union troops secured Amelia Island over hundreds of years; our visitors now secure their own piece of the island with their time on our beaches. Enjoy our beaches by riding horseback, surf fishing, or reading the latest best seller in a beach lounger.
