Historic charm and coastal activities on Amelia Island
Located on the north end of Amelia Island, Fernandina Shores is surrounded by a vibrant community rich in history and natural beauty. The island, known as the Isle of Eight Flags, has a storied past with influences from eight different nations since the 1500s. Today, it is a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors with its pristine beaches, historic sites, and diverse recreational activities.
Residents of Fernandina Shores are just a short walk from Beach Access 6, providing easy access to the island's famous soft sands and clear waters. Fort Clinch State Park, a historic Civil War site, is nearby and offers opportunities for shark teeth hunting, fishing, and watching submarines at Kings Bay Naval Base. The park is also a great spot for jogging and leisurely strolls.
The historic downtown area of Fernandina Beach is just two miles away, featuring quaint shops, local eateries, and charming Victorian architecture. Main Beach, with its recreation facilities, putt-putt golf, and surf shop, is also within walking distance. For dining, residents can enjoy local favorites like Tasty's Fresh Burgers and The Happy Tomato Courtyard Café & BBQ, both offering delicious meals in a relaxed setting.

Accessible transportation options for easy commuting
While Amelia Island offers a serene and somewhat secluded environment, it remains accessible through various transportation options. The island is connected to the mainland by two bridges: the Shave Bridge on SR-200 to the north and the scenic A1A to the south. These routes provide easy access to Interstate 95, which is about 15 miles away.
For air travel, Jacksonville International Airport is approximately 27 miles from Fernandina Shores, making it convenient for both domestic and international flights. The Fernandina Beach Municipal Airport also serves the community, offering facilities for skydive and paragliding enthusiasts.
Although the area is car-dependent with minimal public transit options, the island's layout and infrastructure make it easy to navigate by car. Biking is somewhat feasible, with several scenic routes available for those who prefer to explore the island on two wheels.
