Review:

While Amelia Island is only around thirty miles from Jacksonville, it feels worlds apart. Horseback riding is possible at the Amelia Island State Park beach at the south end, while beachcombers can find shells and shark’s teeth at Fort Clinch. Families often head to Main Beach for its beach dining, oceanfront miniature golf, pristine beaches, and more. Main Beach also provides handicap access, as well as beach wheelchairs. The picture-perfect quartz-sand beaches of Amelia Island are the result of meticulously enforced regulations that keep them picturesque for visitors. It's also possible to see an osprey, dolphins, and possibly even a whale.
