Fernandina Plaza Historic State Park is Florida's smallest state park, spanning a mere 0.8 acres throughout the northern end of Amelia Island on a blufftop overlooking the Amelia River. The park preserves the former plaza grounds of Fort San Carlos, which was constructed in 1816 and is largely protected as part of nearby Fort Clinch State Park.
Historic markers at the park showcase the history and development of the plaza, with interpretive panels detailing its cultural uses. Park visitors can enjoy spectacular views of nearby Old Town Fernandina or enjoy picnic meals on the park's grassy lawn area. The park is also available for use for private special events, including weddings and community gatherings.
