 About Amelia Island State Park

A NOTE FROM THE MANAGER

Robert Joseph

This winter enjoy the crisp sea air along one of the most scenic shorelines in north Florida. Located where the Nassau Sound meets the Atlantic Ocean, Amelia Island State Park offers visitors incredible recreational opportunities in a picturesque natural setting.  The point at the southern tip of Amelia Island provides a stunning panorama of land and sea. If you really want an exceptional beach experience, visit Kelly's Seahorse Ranch and take a beach tour by horseback!

 

In order to care for our valuable natural resources and enhance future recreational opportunities, we ask beach drivers to recognize marked sensitive areas which are shielding critical zones for wildlife and dune formation.
