If you really want to experience Amelia Island, slow it down and do what the locals do. Start the morning with a walk on the beach or a sunrise surf session, grab coffee downtown Fernandina, then spend the day bouncing between the water and the historic streets. Paddle the marshes, hunt for shark teeth, ride bikes under the live oaks, or just post up with a cold drink and watch the boats roll by the marina. Amelia Island isn’t about rushing from attraction to attraction — it’s about easy days, salty air, good food, and finding your own rhythm on the island.
