great.....can't wait to visit

This video came just in time. Trying to plan my bday weekend for a quick getaway. Thank you for sharing. 😁

Living in Callahan and Loving Amelia and Fernandina. I was raised in Jax. I know the area well!

I go to Amelia island in a few weeks for my yearly vacay there😆 my dad and I love fishing there and getting ice cream downtown

Wonderful Job you did describing the Island! Born, raised in Old Town, and still live in town.

Why does the town I work for look better on the video than it does in person 😂

When I was a kid in the 1960s, my family used to erect our tents at the campground at Fort Clinch State Park. Next time I visit I may get to see the Star Trek sets in Kingsland GA.

My daughters, grand children and one daughter’s mother in law spent Mother”s Day weekend in Amelia Island. We stayed in a hotel in Fernandina but spent the beach day at American Beach. We loved it! Unspoiled, peaceful and built memories collecting sea shells with my 3 year old grandson. I live in Jax and make frequent trips to the area.

Great video thanks for sharing. Next time check out the lighthouse there. I think it’s one of the oldest in Florida

Thank you, that was great!!!

Totally enjoyed this video. As I've said before, you have a great voice that makes your presentation even better! And your photographer, well, she is the best! Your Lakeland videos are the reason we are going there next week. You've showed us parts of beautiful Florida that we didn't know existed 🏆🦩

Great Video! I would add a segment on the South end of the island as well. It obviously has a whole different vibe, more great restaurants, shops, art studios, and historic American Beach.

I love Amelia island, best time of my life. The whole area, yulee, fernandina, all are awesome. Indeed, it is the best of Florida and I want it to stay a secret so no one can mess it up?

Only a fool could think that area is nice. It is ugly as sin and full of every cut throat and reject from up and down the coast.

Thanks for sharing I never been there there and we live fla, im planning camping in talbot state park there bike 🚴 is trail to Fernandina, thanks again for excellent information as always 🙏

Nice tour. My wife and I visit as much as we can, since we live in Jacksonville. Jacksonville is not so interesting. But you might like Neptune Beach with a nice selection of restaurants, a block from the beach. San Marco and River Side are also worth a visit. Both close to downtown which you should avoid. But Amelia Island is the Gem. Try breakfast at Beach Diner on Amelia.

We love Neptune Beach, San Marco and Riverside. We have videos in our library from the different Jax neighborhoods. Every so often, we make a trip downtown to visit Sweet Pete’s. Great tips Anthony! Thanks.

It’s weird seeing one of these for a place I grew up 30 minutes away from XD

Stop in at Amelia’s Fine Jewelry on Center Street if you would like to own a piece of real treasure. There are shipwreck coins and ancient coins available along with antique and estate jewelry.

I lived here for a while and i didnt know a bunch of history of the island

Go fishing! The speckled trout, flounder, red and black drum fishing in the river is usually pretty good.

Obviously one thing you must do in Fernandina is cut all the trees down and pave over paradise and create more traffic. Because that's what's happening. I'm 6th generation and all my ancestors are turning in their graves.

That area is one of the most depressing and hideous looking places, not only in Florida…but all up the East coast. Cannot conceive of anyone seeing it any different.
