Description
Amelia Island has been an escape for hundreds of years for many different groups of people during its long and eventful history. It is a barrier island off the northeastern-most tip of Florida separated from the mainland by the Atlantic Ocean to the east, the Amelia River (part of the Intracoastal Waterway) to the west, the St. Marys River estuary to the north, and by Nassau Sound to the south. Historically, this isolation made it the destination of Timucuan Indians, pirates, smugglers, explorers, and fishermen. Fernandina, once an active port because of its natural harbor, is the only town on the island and takes up 7 square miles in the North Central region. (freshfromflorida.com)
