Take a few minutes to relax and watch one of the best video perspectives of Amelia Island, Florida, a fabulous aerial tour.  No hype, just the pure bliss of floating above this barrier island on the Florida/Georgia border.

Specializing in aerial photography, the beautiful video above was produced by Elizabeth and Clyde Wilkes of Elizabeth Wilkes Photography of Fernandina Beach.

TOURIST TIP: If you love the beach and nature, don’t miss seeing the “tips” of the island.

Fort Clinch State Park — is a must-see attraction (watch Fort Clinch video). With over 1,100 acres, Fort Clinch State Park sprawls across Amelia Island’s northern tip. (At the opposite end of the island is Amelia Island State Park, a 200-acre preserve encompassing Amelia Island’s southern tip, also the location of  the Kelly Seahorse Ranch, offering horseback riding on the beach.)

Amelia Island Living© also features content (blog and articles) about local living for people interested in Florida homes and exploring lifestyle options (Amelia Island real estate). Click here to read article, “Beach Lifestyle:  Slower Pace, Coastal Nature, Love of the Water” for an in-depth overview and also watch a video featuring local living options. (See interactive Florida real estate map highlighting FL homes for sale in the Amelia Island area and elsewhere.)

A second historic district is Old Town, located slightly north of the downtown historic district, with the distinction of being the last Spanish city platted in the Western Hemisphere (retaining the 1811 plat). NOTE: This historic district does not have any shops or restaurants and is a residential area. Old Town is located off North 14th Street (from historic Centre Street — which turns into Atlantic Avenue — turn onto North 14th Street at the traffic light and follow until you see Old Town on the left, just before the 14th Street bridge). Located on the western side of Amelia Island, both historic district areas are great places to be at the waterfront to watch a gorgeous sunset over the Amelia River when visiting the island.
