Amelia Island

Amelia Island State Park occupies approximately 200 acres at the southern tip of Amelia Island in Nassau County, northeast Florida, where the Amelia River meets the Atlantic Ocean. It is one of the few state parks in Florida that permits horseback riding on the beach, making it a distinctive destination for equestrians and beachgoers alike. The park encompasses a mosaic of coastal habitats including maritime forest, salt marsh, tidal flats, and sandy beach, providing a natural contrast to the resort development on the rest of the island.
