“life's a beach!”

An easy drive from Jacksonville, the park protects over 200 acres of unspoiled wilderness along the southern tip of Amelia Island. Beautiful beaches, salt marshes and coastal maritime forests provide visitors a glimpse of the original Florida. Amelia Island State Park is one of the few locations on the east coast that offers horseback riding on the beach and riding tours along the shoreline. Fishermen can surf fish along the shoreline or they can wet their lines from the mile-long George Crady Bridge Fishing Pier which spans Nassau Sound. Visitors can stroll along the beach, look for shells or watch the wildlife. For horseback tour reservations, contact Kelly Seahorse Ranch at (904) 491-5166. Tours are given four times daily.

A nice little beach away from everything. It's quite a walk from the parking area but definitely worth it. Good place for seashells.

Located at the bottom of the island Amelia Island State Park offers magnificent views!

We enjoyed the horse ride as the horses were friendly and obeyed.
We stopped plenty of times as the kids wanted to collect some shells which they found at the beach.

Very peaceful experience, great opportunity to be able to ride horses instead of just walking across the park!
