About Amelia Island

One of the few state parks where horseback riding is permitted on the beach, this coastal park on the southern tip of Amelia Island offers pristine Atlantic beaches and salt marsh ecosystems. Visitors can explore maritime hammock forests or ride along the shoreline where shorebirds and sea turtles nest.
