Amelia Island: The Perfect Weekend Getaway
People who live in Orlando sometimes just want to get away from the theme park crowds and I-4 traffic. When you don’t have eight hours to drive to Key West, there’s a great alternative on the northeastern coast of Florida.
Located a short drive north of Jacksonville and right on the border with Georgia is a little place called Amelia Island. This 13-mile long island is home to some of the most pristine and well-maintained beaches in the Sunshine State and one of my all-time favorite locations for a weekend getaway.
