About Amelia Island Resort Guide
Amelia Island Resort Guide was created to answer a simple question visitors always ask: “Where should we actually go?”
Not the paid listings. Not the generic travel fluff. The real places locals recommend when friends and family come to town.
Amelia Island and Fernandina Beach are one of Florida’s rare holdouts — a laid-back barrier island with historic roots, uncrowded beaches, live music, great food, and just enough polish to feel special without losing its soul. We built this site to help you experience it the right way, whether you’re here for a weekend getaway, a family vacation, a golf trip, or just passing through Northeast Florida.
We’re locally based and hands-on. That means the restaurants, bars, beaches, golf courses, fishing charters, shops, and attractions featured here aren’t scraped together from a brochure — they’re places people actually go. Some are well-known favorites, others are the kind of spots you only hear about once you’re already on the island.
Our goal is simple: save you time, help you avoid tourist traps, and point you toward experiences that feel authentic. From sunrise beach walks and historic downtown afternoons to live music nights, waterfront dining, boating, fishing, and hidden corners of the island, we curate what matters — and leave out what doesn’t.
You’ll also notice that some listings include booking options, maps, and quick links. When we do recommend partners or experiences you can book online, it’s because they’re reputable, useful, and worth considering — never because someone paid to be here. If a place earns a spot on Amelia Island Resort Guide, it’s because it belongs.
Think of this site as a local concierge without the sales pitch. Explore by category, dive into individual spot guides, or just scroll until something catches your eye. However you use it, the goal is the same: help you make the most of your time on Amelia Island.
Welcome to the island. We’ll point you in the right direction.
