Welcome to Amelia Island State Park
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 line from the mile-long George Crady Bridge Fishing Pier which spans Nassau Sound. Visitors can also stroll along the beach, swim in the surf, 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.
We welcome you to visit all seven of the parks which collectively comprise Talbot Islands State Parks:
Pumpkin Hill Creek Preserve State Park,
George Crady Bridge Fishing Pier State Park,
Little Talbot Island State Park,
Fort George Island Cultural State Park,
Yellow Bluff Fort Historic State Park and
Big Talbot Island State Park.
