Fernandina Beach Florida

Fernandina Beach Florida is commonly called the “Isle of 8 Flags” because 8 different countries’ flags have been over this beach since 1852 including Spain, France and Great Britain.

So, how does Fernandina Beach look after 159 years? Darned good! It remains a beautiful beach town with a lot of great family fun and activities as well as delicious food- shrimp in particular.

The shrimping industry was founded here and people say they still have the best shrimp in all of Florida. We agree!

Being the only town located on Amelia Island, Fernandina Beach certainly celebrates diversity and plays host to people from all over the world who come for the culture and history and stay for the shrimp and white sandy beaches with the azure blue water.

Fernandina is a beautiful beach town with 50 blocks of history in the form of Victorian and Italianate mansions on Amelia Island. These gorgeous mansions must be seen to appreciate how the elite lived so many years ago.
