Review & FAQ:

Fernandina Plaza Historic State Park is the smallest state park in Florida, stretching for 0.8 acres along Amelia Island's northern end atop a bluff offering panoramic views of the Amelia River.

The park is located on the plaza grounds of the former Fort San Carlos, constructed in 1816 and mostly preserved today within nearby Fort Clinch State Park. Visitors can learn about the development and history of the plaza through interpretive panels on the park's grounds, which explore the plaza's cultural use over the years.

Unparalleled views of nearby Old Town Fernandina are offered from the park's grassy lawn area, which makes a great spot for picnics and recreation. Private special events can be held at the park with permits, including community gatherings, weddings, and business and school events.

Address: 715 San Fernando St, Fernandina Beach, FL 32034
