Review & FAQ:
Fort Clinch State Park is anchored around the 19th-century Amelia Island fortress of the same name, which was originally constructed as a seaside fortification in 1847 and named after famed Seminole War general Duncan Lamont Clinch.
The Fernandina Beach park, which was originally established in 1938 and sits adjacent to the Cumberland Sound, strives to protect the region's sensitive estuarine tidal marsh, maritime hammock, and sand dune ecosystems. Park visitors can enjoy a wide range of outdoor recreational activities, including opportunities for ocean fishing on the park's half-mile pier.
A six-mile hiking trail is also offered, along with ample opportunities for cycling, marine wildlife watching, birding, surfcasting, and shelling. Guests can camp overnight at the nearby Amelia River Campground or attend monthly military reenactments honoring the park's fort history.
