Welcome to Fernandina Plaza Historic State Park

Fernandina Plaza Historic State Park sits atop a bluff along the Amelia River on Estrada Street in the town of Fernandina, on the northern end of Amelia Island. 

It is the historic site of Fort San Carlos, a Spanish fort dating back to the early 1800's. The property is now managed by Fort Clinch State Park as part of the Florida Park Service and has been a state managed property since 1941.
