Details About Amelia Island

Destinations » Atlantic Seaboard » U.S. East Coast » Amelia Island


As the only piece of land in the U.S. to have been under eight flags of domination, Amelia Island offered a wide variety of attractions to its many visitors. Today, Centre Street is the main artery at the heart of Amelia Islands historic district, Fernandina Beach. The pulse of this Civil-War era main street is relaxing and refreshing, and is lined with Victorian homes, century-old brick buildings, palmetto trees and a recently restored colonial post office building.
