Fun Things To Do in Amelia Island this Summer | New Homes for Sale Amelia Island Florida

Nestled just off the coast of Northeast Florida, popular Amelia Island offers thirteen miles of pristine, uncrowded beachfront - plus a wealth of summer options for gourmet dining, exciting entertainment and plenty of fun activities suitable for all ages.

You'll find Amelia Island, FL, consistently listed as one of the nation's Top Ten island destinations by publications such as Travel & Leisure and Conde Nast Traveler magazines. The great weather makes it a paradise for those who enjoy hiking, biking, horseback riding, kayaking, fishing and boating, and nearly ten per cent of the island's land is set aside as park preserves. You can play world class golf on oceanside greens with spectacular views.

Downtown Fernandina Beach is a charming place to spend a few hours, with its horse-drawn carriage rides, fascinating period architecture, quaint brick streets, and local boutiques to explore. The island's story goes back over four thousand years, and you can study it in detail at the Amelia Museum of History. When you visit Fort Clinch, among the country's best-preserved 19th century forts, you'll also see the largest sand dunes in the state. And be sure to make a reservation at SALT, one of Florida's only five-diamond restaurants.

If you're considering new construction homes in Florida, be sure to put beautiful Amelia Island at the top of your list of places to visit. You'll be surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, the Intracoastal Waterway, Nassau Sound and Cumberland Sound, which is one of the largest and deepest inlets in the East.

Northeast Florida's diverse eco-system includes both white beaches and lush green marshes. Locals love to treasure hunt on the sand for shells of scallops, moon snail and whelk and the teeth of many species of shark. And you can take a sunset sailing cruise and encounter dolphins, manatees and sea turtles.

In addition to these summer pleasures, Amelia Island, FL, is home to annual events that draw enthusiasts from around the world.

Foodies look forward to January's Restaurant Week, highlighting the Island's culinary scene and the creations of resident star chefs. March brings the Concours d'Elegance, with more than 300 rare and exotic vehicles showcased by private collectors, plus auctions and other special events.

The Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival presents world-class musicians in performance throughout the Spring months, and the month of May brings the Isle of Eight Flags Shrimp Festival in downtown Fernandina Beach – a tradition for more than 50 years - and the Wild Amelia Nature Festival. Both are very family-friendly.

The week-long Jazz Fest comes in October, and lawn sport enthusiasts flock to November's Pétanque Amelia Island Open, the largest competition of its kind in America.

Residents always anticipate the Dickens on Centre holiday celebration, when much of downtown Fernandina Beach transforms into early Victorian England. December is also the month for the annual Holiday Home Tour, featuring beach homes specially in the spirit of the season.
