Amelia Island gives plenty of options for people who like nature and history. You can unwind on the lovely beaches, wander through Fernandina Beach's old downtown, visit Fort Clinch State Park, or try kayaking and fishing. Thing is, walking the historic area and getting lunch at a local cafe feels like the best way to catch the island's easygoing energy, especially when the sun is warm and there's no rush. It's just a peaceful way to spend an afternoon.
