This barrier island puts a Florida spin on Southern hospitality.
Amelia Island, Florida, is one of the poshest spots on Florida’s so-called First Coast, a name given to the state’s northernmost Atlantic Ocean shoreline. Part of a chain of barrier islands, Amelia is an upscale destination for travelers who love the finer things in life — golf, sailing and architecture — with none of the fuss. It’s also a natural choice (quite literally), given its 13 miles of pristine beaches and thousands of acres of protected land and waterways.
