If you're looking for a relaxing, picturesque sail on the water with occasional moments of…read moreadrenaline-induced existential reflection--Windward Sailing is the spot on Amelia Island. The captain and his wife guided us across the open waters like a man born with a rudder for a spine. The boat was beautiful, the views were breathtaking, and the wind... well, let's just say my hair looked like I lost a fight with a leaf blower. At one point, dolphins swam alongside us, probably just to mock my sunburn. It was majestic. Magical. In short--10/10 would sail again.

Great beach, clean, cheap parking. However it does get busy. There is sand lot right next to the…read moremain beach making it super convenient, especially when you have young children it's easy to run back to the car and makes the worst part of a beach day, trekking back to the car with cranky, tired, sand covered kids while carrying enough chairs to fill a home a whole lot easier. If you have AWD there is a secondary lot access allowing you to park your vehicle directly on the beach. The bigger AWD vehicles (Jeeps, pickup trucks) can go all the way to the other end of the beach where the sand is like powder and the water is almost clear blue. The waves on the main beach were nonexistent so a lot of family with younger kids stayed on that side, it was quiet, kids playing in the water and parents chitchatting. On the AWD access it was more lively. Lots of big groups, young and older. Lot of different music, playing beach games. Down at the very end the waves were much bigger and that's where I saw most of the surfing taking place. Great for collecting shells. Lots of cool seabirds. On the main beach there were hermit and Filder crabs (they are too small for their pinch to hurt). Overall a great beach.

I really liked this park. When I went, it wasn't that crowded. If your car can handle it, you can…read morepark right on the beach. There is plenty of non-sand parking available. It was cool watching the St. Johns River meet the Atlantic Ocean. From what I could see, the only bathrooms available were port-a-potties. There are also very few places to seek shade, so you gotta make sure to bring your sunblock and beach umbrella.

They have day trips then some evenings (maybe just weekends) they have an adults only "rum-runner" cruise...BYOB. We took that one! The ship is a replica of the Flying Dutchman and they just started giving cruises and will stay here in Fern. Beach (not a visiting ship). They are working out the bumps of a new adventure.... like music needed to be louder, the pirate speaker on the history of area needed a Mike so he could be heard. The ship's suppose to have 18 cannons but they had one cannon. My husband said the seats weren't right....they were too short to sit on. The three pirates and captain were all very personable and I hope this endeavor becomes very successful.

It was 1000 feet of beach front, purchased by an African American Insurance Executive. There were famous entertainers who performed at the now defunct club. The day we visited there were lots of trucks parked on the beach and lots of fishermen. Besides the beach, what I really wanted to see was NaNa, the tallest sand dune in Florida. Standing some 60+ feet, named by a somewhat famous black entertainer who performed throughout Europe,but made American Beach her home.

There were some instructions from fallen tree limbs and trees, but they were easy to avoid and move out of the way. We got to the 1.31 mile mark and had to turn around due to a small amount of water on the trail that would have been too much to push a stroller through. We were the only ones on the trail, and it was quiet. There are lots of trails off the main trail. At the beginning, there is a porta potty and trash can, along with a map of the trails. Please notice that there is a private driveway with no trespassing signs posted. I was able to follow the main trail on AllTrails for tracking.
