Downtown Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island in Florida! A Driving Tour at Sunset! 

Is Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island a top 25 Downtown Florida destination? We are searching for the most vibrant and diverse downtowns in Florida. What do you think of downtown Fernandina Beach?

We live here on Amelia Island. It's heaven. It's getting to much media coverage in the late. We are hoping this doesn't destroy our secret paradise,

The best thing I did was leave this city its nothing to do boring, I live in Hallandale Beach which is next Miami and Hollywood Beach the night life is amazing and its always some were to go and enjoy yourself

Thank you so much

i love and miss fernandina. Still looks great!

Love this downtown area

당신의 아름다운 사진 감사합니다

Beautiful

We go to Amelia Island every year...it is very user friendly to families...

I used to live there until I was about 10 and it got to expensive but now I’m 13 and me and my family plan on going back within the next 2 years:

Huhuhu i miss my second home fernandina beach

I love to Florida

My future home!

Nice vibe..if you want crowds go to key west or miami

You should try this with the 360 cam

Really nice. Kinda deserted though. Due to the virus I guess?

That first building to the left my wife works there

Where’s the beach?

Can anyone tell me the name of the song playing here at 13:13 ? Sounds really good.

I’ve lived here since 1980 and it’s ok, but nothing for the kids to do except go to the beach, movies or park. Have to go to Georgia or Jacksonville Florida

hey i live here! :))

Can see the pulp mill I'll be working at here in a few weeks.

While I do stand by my replied statement, I will say it is pretty sad to see some surrounding buildings not in use, like at 14:19

wait what?

I always liked this downtown area, but it is a quiet and even boring place to live as is Stuart and Vero Beach. All very quaint, but boring. Nothing exciting really happening in these places in the evenings other than drinking establishments and some restaurants. Most of the small shops have items I would never buy and one can eliminate eighty percent of these shops as being irrelevant in a very short time.

Is this some kind a SNL skit? Why not explain facts, figures, history or your drive bus!

Me and my mom just visited Amelia Island for the first time today. I don’t even know how to properly describe what I just witnessed. Everything about it was wrong. The drive in from 95 is unattractive, just all cookie cutter businesses. The outerskirts of Amelia Island are very dirty, crappy landscape, unfinished construction, bad roads, just an absolute eyesore. The downtown area is definitely quaint & original, but the streets are waayyy too narrow, as if the infrastructure was built to house midgets. You feel like the buildings are closing in on you trying to squeeze you. Both the breakfast places we tried to go to had 30-60 minute waits. One of those 2 I walked in and got the worst vibe I’ve ever felt, just an uninviting feeling of pressure. We then tried a 3rd breakfast place downtown that had no wait, and they didn’t even offer any selections with traditional eggs/bacon or omelettes. Just 6 obscure choices that you’d never typically order for breakfast. The waitress there at least was very friendly….We finally just went to Dunkin Donuts to eat. When we got out of the car there were dirty rags on both sides of the ground and a car broken down parked right in front. Even inside DD, the floors were all wet can’t even order your food without the fear of slipping. Even the Yulee newspaper in DD is all wrong. There’s an entire page dedicated to posting criminal’s faces who missed court dates. And most of them were just young kids who got in trouble for non-violent crimes like possession of marijuana. I’ve been to most of the states in the US and checked out many many cities. This place is like no other I’ve been. It’s like a bad episode of the Twilight Zone…….We just moved from South Florida to Daytona who the locals call “Dirtona”. Daytona Beach isn’t the prettiest place to look at but at least there are some very respectable parts, and has plenty of stuff to do. Compared to Amelia Island, Daytona Beach feels like Hawaii. And we also did St. Simons, GA on the same trip. St. Simons felt like heaven on earth compared to Amelia Island, we could not get out of their fast enough……I am floored that I didn’t see any other negative reviews anywhere on the internet, so I felt compelled to write one. Anyone who finds Amelia Island appealing I am dying to know where they could be possibly coming from??

Lousy town
