Welcome to Amelia Island State Park

Step into the tranquil beauty of Amelia Island State Park, a serene oasis just a short drive away from bustling Jacksonville and charming Fernandina Beach. Spanning over 200 acres of pristine wilderness on the southern tip of Amelia Island, this park is a sanctuary for nature lovers seeking an authentic experience of the untouched Florida landscape.

Discover picturesque beaches, meandering salt marshes, and lush coastal maritime forests that offer a glimpse into the essence of the Real Florida. Take leisurely strolls along the shoreline, search for captivating seashells and elusive shark teeth, or observe the diverse wildlife that calls this sanctuary home.

For fishing enthusiasts, the opportunities are abundant. Cast your line from the sandy shores or enjoy the scenic views from the mile-long George Crady Bridge Fishing Pier extending over Nassau Sound. The convenient On the Line Bait and Tackle shop is at your service, offering a wide selection of fishing bait, tackle supplies, snacks, and beverages through their walk-up window. Please note that the interior of the shop is currently closed.

Make the most of your visit by exploring all seven interconnected parks that collectively form the Talbot Islands State Parks family. From the tranquil Pumpkin Hill Creek Preserve State Park to the historic Yellow Bluff Fort Historic State Park, each destination offers its own unique charm and opportunities for adventure. Embrace the natural beauty and rich heritage that await you at Amelia Island State Park and beyond.
