An easy drive from Jacksonville, the park protects over 200 acres of unspoiled wilderness along the southern tip of Amelia Island. Beautiful beaches, salt marshes and coastal maritime forests provide visitors a glimpse of the original Florida.

Amelia Island State Park is one of the few locations on the east coast that offers horseback riding on the beach and riding tours along the shoreline. Fishermen can surf fish along the shoreline or they can wet their lines from the mile-long George Crady Bridge Fishing Pier which spans Nassau Sound. Visitors can stroll along the beach, look for shells or watch the wildlife.

Visit Amelia Island State Park and enjoy the season's cool ocean breezes along one of the most scenic shorelines in north Florida. Located where Nassau Sound meets the Atlantic Ocean, Amelia Island State Park offers visitors incredible recreational opportunities in a picturesque natural setting.

While enjoying Amelia Island, please be aware that accesses can fluctuate season to season. By following posted signs (maps available in beach kiosks) you can help safeguard our valuable natural resources while ensuring the appropriate recreational opportunities are available to all users. Drivers are reminded to stay in designated areas away from sensitive habitat and critical wildlife zones.
