The beaches are pristine, the convenience to the beach and water sports are steps away. However, there are is so much more to Amelia Island than the beautiful beaches. We have a historic downtown area with many fabulous restaurants, historic Fort Clinch, the most amazing state parks and Egan's Creek green way - A protected area of over 300 acres that runs north to south along Egan's Creek, the Green way was opened for public use in the summer of 2000 as an undeveloped park for passive recreational use.
