When the sun dips low over the marsh and the ocean breeze cools off, Amelia Island’s bars, live music, and nightlife come alive with laid-back coastal energy. From historic Fernandina Beach saloons pouring cold drinks since the 1800s to oceanfront tiki bars with reggae, acoustic rock, and local bands, the island keeps things easygoing and real. You’ll find live music most nights, friendly locals, and no cover-charge attitude — just good tunes, cold beers, craft cocktails, and salty air. Whether you’re chasing a late-night blues set, a sunset happy hour, or a low-key bar hopping night downtown, Amelia Island nightlife is all about good vibes, barefoot comfort, and letting the night roll the way the tide does.
