Amelia Island State Park

This area is very beautiful and the sand is soft and clean. They have ample parking and toiletries are offered. You can fish on one side of the inlet and beach on the other. You can drive down on the shore line if you want but its also easy place for walking. It is very family friendly. Just a great place for relaxing and enjoying your company and the view.

This wasn't what I expected. When I think of a state park, I think trees and trails, but this was more beach and fishing unless I miss something. There is a nominal fee and it appears the locals like it for fishing.

How cool!We stopped by and took the 4x4 (required to drive on beach) the beach. There is a honor system to pay to go on the beach, $2, and the more you drive, the more area you see available.Be cautious if you're bringing little ones because all of the cars, but definitely so cool.We didn't bring anything to sit and stay since we were on our way else where, but I strongly suggest it. Amelia island is beautiful!

South end bridge beach at Amelia island state park was a wonderful getaway for our family. The best part about it was the ability to take our vehicle on the beach, and not have to lug around a bunch of supplies like a cooler, tent, chairs, etc. this is such a treat when you have small children! That being said, you need a 4x4. And if you do have kiddos, because this is a beach you can drive on, you have to look out for them when there are moving vehicles around. The beach was remote enough that other cars weren't an issue for us. I love the bridge in the distance. You can also park your car in the parking lot and go to the non-driving beach and even take a walk on the pedestrian bridge. It's an hour and forty five minute drive for us to get here from home, but we'll definitely be back to enjoy this beach!

Amelia Island State Park is in a great location with convenient parking and beach access. It's a beautiful place!
