Amelia Island Parks & Beaches | Fernandina Beach

[Music] [Music] hello explorers we're in ailia Island today you may remember we had visited this back in the winter well we thought we'd check it out in the summer this 13m island has plenty of outdoor areas I believe that there's over 40 beaches and that there's like two state parks so I don't think we're going to get to everything today but we'll check out as many as we can let's get [Music] going our first stop is Main Beach this is the well-known Beach of Amelia Island there's so much to do around here they have a skate park they have a boardwalk a bathroom playgrounds two volleyball courts uh there are restaurants that surround the area there's mini golf plus you have beach access to the public there's lots of parking as you can see around me so lots to do around here let's go check it [Music] out we've switched to the GoPro we're going to go check out that water all right let's do it [Music] yeah [Music] it's not bad for me in the Atlantic normally it's cold [Music] yeah you survived right yeah please uhoh [Music] if you're looking for something to do besides the beach and maybe looking for a hike you can come to Egan Creek Greenway which is a preserve and it's actually 300 acres of protected [Music] land at every one of the entrances of this preserve you can find little pamphlets like this it contains a map and gives you all sorts of information about The Preserve there are also multiple hiking trails on this place and even a mountain biking trail check out that bad boy right there oh look what we found want to go swimming as we were walking by we heard a splash and we looked over he must have heard us our Mr Alligator will stay here he's thinking lunch yeah not today sir we're here at Seaside Park this beach is actually centrally located on Amelia Island there's lots of stuff that surrounds it there I looking at a hotel there's restaurants and stores and all that this park actually offers some bathrooms it does have picnics and Pavilion you can drive onto that beach as long as you have four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive we did see someone get stuck already so definitely make sure you have the right kind of Drive um it is actually free too to drive on the beach here let's go check it out [Music] the next stop is Peters Point beachfront Park if you're actually a resident of Nassau County you can park on the beach and drive down there and Park Park however if you're not there's still plenty of parking that we see that's out here this park looks to have plenty of pavilions a couple of bathrooms however it is further away from any restaurant or anything so you probably have to have a little bit of a trek or bring your food with you yeah all right let's go check it [Music] out [Music] our next stop is Bernie Park this is at the south end of ailia Island this is actually a historical park because a long time ago this is where a lot of African-Americans would come come to Vacation you know about segregation it was an unfortunate time in American's history and this was one of the beaches that black people were allowed on it's very beautiful by the way there's not a lot of parking at American Beach so that's why people come over to here which Bernie Park is part of American Beach and there's tons of parking over here and they have bathrooms and picnic tables and Pavilions and stuff like that let's go check it [Music] out [Music] [Music] [Applause] oh we decided to stop and check out one of the public beach access points so there's a whole bunch of these along A1A and they have small little cutouts for you to park but it is a little more wild and you may find yourself without a bathroom or any kind of vendor so just be cautious when you do that but these are the more raw looking beach access points yeah unless [Music] course [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] what's really cool is that it doesn't look like anybody else really hangs out at that point so if you want more of a secluded beach looking area maybe check out the south point of uh this [Music] stop [Music] one thing we noticed that there's so many turtles just hiding in the Dooms there's one it's right there you probably can't see him anymore but he's just crawling along pretty cool all right I think that's where we're going to leave it today we're actually going to go back and get changed and uh check out Tasty's Fresh Burger and we'll catch you on the flip we're pretty excited we're uh this is like a local haunt here it's just a burger joint but we thought we'd check it out yeah tasty Fresh Burger here they actually have four locations um but it's not it's like a local chain not like a major chain yeah all right I'm excited [Music] yeah [Music] you actually go up to the counter and you order your food and then they bring it to your table this place has hands spawn milkshakes we'll definitely be getting one of those they have lots of burgers and tater tots and all that stuff uh Mike and me have been kind of eating healthier so this is kind of a cheat night and I think we're going to do it upright right so we put in for a huge order there's probably too much food yeah probably but we're getting a birthday cake milkshake to split I'm so excited about that one yeah they actually have hands fun milkshakes here so that'll be good oh and allive food looks so delicious we're getting all types of tots and pickles and all that stuff um this place is actually owned by a military family mhm and it's actually divided into four locations Yes actually one of them is in Georgia too so um if you're in one of those areas definitely check it out milkshakes came she said she could split it up cuz we just wanted one to split so she split it up for us that's pretty cool yeah yeah all right try it out yeah I got the pizza mil some chili dusted cheese fries uh we're all kind of splitting the schmor board of things here so we got some fried pickles and some sweet potato fries and then these over here are parmesan dusted Tater top I ended up getting the chicken ranch uh it's like a crispy chicken sandwich with pickles and Ranch on it boys over here Nikolai got the Carolina Barbecue yeah Gage got a Philly cheese stick my favorite yeah and we got lots of more fries Gage of course got a sweet potato fries M yep all right let's dig in 20 minutes later that place was amazing yeah yeah I would recommend the pizza mil which is what I got I mean we tried each other's and everybody's consent this was that the pizza Milt was the best yeah but you couldn't go wrong with most of the yeah I think most of the items are good anyway I think we're going to wrap it up here we're going to go ahead and head back to our room call it a night and we'll catch up with you in the morning our last stop is ailia Island State Park and the fort crat Bridge both are kind of connected it cost $2 per person to get into Amelia Island there's plenty of parking but it does say that in summertime when they fill up to capacity they will shut down and then they'll reopen and let more people in this is more of a fishing area if you have a 4x4 truck or SUV you can drive along the beach and kind of park there and fish right outside your car one warning there is no bathroom so it's just the portapotty all right let's go check it [Music] out [Music] didn't look like there was parking there so I'm not quite sure how you would where you park but you can kind of park at Amelia Island and kind of walk over here and then you take the [Music] bridge [Applause] they even have a cleaning area up here so you can clean what you catch that is always [Music] handy [Music] little stairs going down to the swap looks like yet another person stuck trying to get on the beach if you do not have four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive don't do it and if you're not sure don't risk it I think this is where we're going to leave you we hope you enjoyed our small little brief look at the outdoor activities you can do at the end of summer in Island we know we didn't get them all or maybe we did I don't know I don't think we did though no there was plenty more to you yeah so definitely leave some comments if you've been to millia Island and we missed something definitely come back and check it out cuz I love this island if you've never been book a trip it's worth it we've never been here where the beaches are packed so maybe in the earlier summer it will be but it's always a nice location I've never been crowded yeah so what we've been told this is where you want to come in Florida when you want to escape tourism because because the beaches are more spread out and uh there's not as many people as would be clear water and uh Daytona and all that and if you want to see other activities or what this place looks like in the winter time be sure to check out our other video I'll link it below yeah so we did go to Fort Clinch on that trip that place is amazing right yeah definitely worth check there several other Parks too yeah Christmas is coming up soon check out our Christmas video that we did here because they have the drunk Santa that come here it's so funny and it's such a good time yeah so look that up ahead of time if you'd want to check that out in person you have the oldest hotel the oldest bar you have the oldest Methodist Church there's a lot of old places on this island as always thank you for coming along with us keep exploring and we'll see you on the next [Music] one there are more let me do that again there are multiple trails and a bike mot mountain bike trail great okay okay okay don't look like anything's behind you yeah okay all right okay all right so our next stop is Bernie Park this is actually um hold on one okay and that's why you either have four-wheel drive
