Romantic Getaways
The island’s beauty and tranquility have made Amelia a popular spot for honeymoons, anniversaries, and other romantic getaways. Couples are often seen strolling hand-in-hand down historic Centre Street in Fernandina Beach, sharing a candlelit dinner at one of the island’s elegant restaurants, or snuggling up together on an evening horse-drawn carriage ride.
Eight bed and breakfast inns dot the island, each offering a unique style and ambiance. From Florida’s oldest tourist hotel, to a Nantucket shingle-style lodge, couples have their choice of cozy B&Bs. Several of the inns are located in Victorian mansions in the heart of downtown Fernandina and offer a historic look into the island’s tumultuous past. Each inn offers a daily breakfast, varying from gourmet cooking to a casual breakfast basket, and most also offer an evening social hour.
Amelia is perfect for lazy days, quiet beach picnics, moonlit strolls, and countless other ways for couples to relax and escape their hectic, everyday life. For a “ritzier” time, try a private table for two in the kitchen of Salt, the island’s only AAA five-diamond restaurant, or a couples’ spa treatment at a luxurious spa. Need a perfect way to end a perfect day? Can you say private ocean charter or sunset sail? Yes, you can.
