About The Surf Restaurant & Bar

About Us

The Surf Restaurant & Bar is one of Amelia Island’s most iconic beachfront spots — a no-frills, old-school surf hangout where the ocean is always in view and the vibe never tries too hard. Sitting right on the sand in Fernandina Beach, it’s been feeding beachgoers, surfers, and locals for generations. This is classic beach-bar dining done right. The menu features burgers, seafood baskets, sandwiches, and coastal comfort food built for hungry beach days and easy nights. Nothing fancy, nothing pretentious — just solid food that tastes better with salt in the air and sand still on your feet. Inside, the atmosphere is relaxed and full of character. Surfboards, beach history, and a well-worn feel give The Surf its personality. Outside, ocean views and sea breezes do most of the talking. Flip-flops are standard, swimsuits are welcome, and nobody’s judging your hair. The bar keeps things simple and social with cold beer, mixed drinks, and a steady beach crowd, especially in the afternoons and early evenings. It’s a popular stop after a surf session, a long beach walk, or a day spent in the sun. Located directly on Fernandina Beach’s oceanfront, The Surf is an easy walk from nearby beach access points and a natural pairing with sunrise walks, sunset drinks, or casual dinners by the water. The Surf doesn’t chase trends — it is the trend for beachfront dining on Amelia Island. Timeless, relaxed, and proudly beach-first. Bottom line: if you’re looking for a true beachfront restaurant on Amelia Island with ocean views, casual food, and authentic surf culture, The Surf Restaurant & Bar delivers the real deal.
