Amelia Island - Florida - Downtown

With a unique blend of history, culture, dining and shopping, downtown Fernandina Beach offers 50 blocks of island charm. Begin at the harbour-front and make your way down and around historic Centre Street to see it all.

Shopkeepers greet you with unique treasures and welcoming smiles. The rich aroma of freshly made fudge carries on a gentle breeze. Your gaze is drawn to the Victorian-era architecture that holds captivating secrets of a storied past. As the sun dips beyond the breathtaking marsh, and sidewalk cafes set the evening aglow, you realize it is the perfect ending to another perfect day on Amelia Island.
