Amelia Island Florida

--> Amelia Island Florida <--

You are a five-star kind of person, right. You are looking for the same kind of style in the place where you want to take a vacation or own a second home. Look no farther than an island whose beach was voted in the Top 10 beaches in America by "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous".

Before you start thinking that you can't go because your private jet is in the shop, this beach is on the Atlantic coast of Florida, USA. That's right; you only have to travel as far as Amelia Island.

Amelia Island is one of the last remaining unspoiled island paradise in America. Here you will find 13 miles of beaches that are pristine and not crowded. The Island is part of the southernmost of the chain of Atlantic coast barrier islands that stretch from North Carolina to Florida. Near the border of Georgia, you will find a natural, lush setting of old oak trees covered with moss, incredible sunsets, and the best recreational facilities you could ever want.

You can reach the resorts through the Jacksonville International Airport, only some thirty minutes away from Amelia Island by car. If you are driving to Amelia Island, it is only fifteen minutes off I-95. Of course, when you get to there, you will think that you are a million miles away from the dull hustle and bustle of the big city.

Amelia Island is one of the few remaining undiscovered resort locations in Florida. Expect all the activities and nightlife you could want, but do not expect to leave Amelia Island thinking, "Too bad it's so commercial".

On the island, you can find luxurious hotels, private condominiums, bed-and-breakfast, and family homes for rent for your pleasure.

Visitors have been coming to the area since General James Edward Oglethorpe named the place in honor of Princess Amelia, the daughter of King George II of England. The island has a rich history, having been 'owned' by eight different countries over the centuries. Everyone wanted to come to Amelia Island; no one wanted to give it up. Part of the history can be seen at the Fort Clinch State Park, built during the Civil War and is the island's camping facility.

Of course, water sports are a central focus. Sunning, fishing, boating, sailing, you name it, it is all for you here. However, the beach is not the only attraction on Amelia Island. There are five championship golf courses to fit all skill levels and all budgets.

Every place you go on Amelia Island is a piece of history waiting for you. How about lunch at an English style pub that was built almost 150 years ago? Or visit the lighthouse that is even older. You can even stay at the oldest surviving tourist hotel in Florida. Tell them President Ulysses S. Grant sent you; he stayed there also.
