Nestled among centuries-old Live Oaks, the majestic maritime forest, tranquil salt marshes and the beauty of the Atlantic Ocean, Amelia Island Plantation is the model of harmony between nature and man.
Here, on the pristine shores of a meticulously preserved Florida island, residents are treated daily with sweeping views that overlook the blue waters of the Atlantic to the east and lush green marshlands and the Intracoastal Waterway to the west. Sounds of waves crashing on the shore and the songs of gulls gliding in the winds of a cool ocean breeze mingle with aromas of coastal delicacies such as fresh shrimp and artichoke lump crab ravioli as they float away from any of the several dining establishments found around the island.
Named for Princess Amelia, daughter of King George III, Amelia Island is also rich in history and tradition. Once the home of Timucua Indians and later discovered by the French, more than eight nations’ flags have flown above the sandy shores of the island over the last 400 years, including the colors of both the North and the South during the Civil War.
Add to this picture world-class amenities that include an award-winning spa, pro-caliber tennis park, and not one, but three unique 18-hole golf courses, and the resulting blend is a costal community unlike any other.
