We haven't taken a vacation in years... the reason is that we live here on Amelia Island and it's a vacation everyday! Every time we visit another Florida location, we can't wait to return to AI... when we get guests, they never want to leave. We are really the luckiest people living here.

It's quiet the gem. Nice mix of a beach town with a small town feel

Local here! Great highlight video of Amelia, it is a really cool place to visit. It can be an expensive stay longterm, and it is a bit crowded yes, but there is lots of charm around with much history. I've worked with our local museum (Amelia Island Museum of History) and they do pose a great option for tours of the island. If you focus your vacation strictly downtown, it is pricey, but the whole island has lots of hole in the wall shops and stores, like a treasure hunt. Perfect stay for anyone who wants a solid beach vacation.

Thanks for this information. We must have been there at a good time because I didn't get the sense that it was crowded other than the day the farmer's market was happening. The island is beautiful and I'm glad we did other things than just staying downtown as well. I do wish we found more of those hole in the wall stores.

@@TheDetourDuo absolutely! Summertime is usually our busiest season, since we are mostly a tourist town, with the exception of Shrimp Fest in May, and the Concours D’elegance (fancy car shows) in late February. Those are super fun to attend, would recommend shrimp fest for sure, everyone on the island sets up mini shops in tents on the streets of downtown for people to walk through, and the streets are shut off to car traffic for the weekend.

I'm coming to this party a bit late, but I'm glad you enjoyed our island! I will add it's a dog loving community. Most of the people are very friendly. Because the island is so small, asking for directions may end with you following a stranger's car to your destination. I know I've done that a few times. Sometimes it's faster to go there than explain how. The restaurants are great. With so many places serving excellent fare, new places are pretty much forced to step up or go broke. There are three thrift stores on the island, so bargain hunting can be a blast. For the best prices, go to Cats Angels on 8th St. It's close to downtown. Be sure to visit Bosque Bello Cemetery. The older part of the cemetery is to your right about a quarter mile from the entrance. Take your camera a do a lot of clicking. Even in broad daylight you might catch something to show to your ghost living friends!

WE live on Amelia Island - and it is heaven. We have the best Kayaking, boating, fishing in the entire State. In fact we have the only Sate Park that is a fishing pier - Overlooking the Nassau Sound , which is the most beautiful view to the ocean in the South East US. The weather is amazing 12 months a year. but most of all, this is a real working Island.. not the typical tourist beach town. No Tacky stores here! - Real Southern architecture and amazing residents. No chain Restaurants.. all just great food..Shrimp is plentiful here as is local fish such as Pompano, Spotted Sea Bass, Whiting and flounder. Amelia Island has the largest salt water marsh system in the United States, and the sub-Tropical Vegetation will be with you forever. The Live Oaks and Spanish Moss habitat is also the largest in The Country along with coastal Georgia. Our Maritime forest is protected and unique to East coast Florida. You MUST kayak the Sal Marshes while here, and also visit Amelia Island State Park, and Big Talbot and Little Talbot State parks which are our sister Island to our south.

The app I use the most before flying if called B4Ufly. It was created by the FAA so it's trustworthy. Any area that is restricted, like airports. The drone itself will tell you and if it lets you take off you'll get warnings. On top of that it's just having a flight plan before you fly included knowing what may restrict you beforehand
