The main city on the island is Fernandina Beach, a lovely historic port town with about 12,000 inhabitants. This town is guarded by Fort Clinch, which is the only area in the United States to have flown the flags of eight different nations. Fernandina Beach has a historic downtown that's a full fifty square blocks and runs straight into the riverfront marina. Once you leave the city, there is plenty to do at nearby beaches, national parks, and on the water. On Amelia Island, you can choose between the Atlantic to the east and the Amelia River that slices it off from the Florida mainland. The island is one of the few places in Florida where it's possible to ride horses on the beach.
