Amelia Island Historic District
Historic Districts / Sites, Jacksonville
Fodor's Review:
TheAmelia Island Historic District, in Fernandina Beach, has more than 50 blocks of buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places; 450 ornate structures built before 1927 offer some of the nation's finest examples of Queen Anne, Victorian, and Italianate homes. Many date to the haven's mid-19th-century glory days. Pick up a self-guided-tour map at the chamber of commerce, in the old train depot -- once a stopping point on the first cross-state railroad -- and take your time exploring the quaint shops, restaurants, and boutiques that populate the district, especially along Centre Street.

The Best Kept Secret in Florida

You have to visit to appreciate it. The historic district is wonderful as are the beaches. You can go first class up to the ritz or hang out on the harbor in hampton inn, or stay at elizabeth point lodge on the beach. Where ever you stay, visit islandrejuvacations.com where they put together yoga retreats and other types of fun segway, kayak, yoga combo adventures! You fly into Jacksonville airport and it's just a 30 minute drive to your hotel.
