This beautiful downtown Fernandina Beach is a must to see. With so many shops, restaurants, B&B’s make this historic district truly remarkable.

We have been all over Florida and this was our first trip to this area. We found the beach desirable and the people very friendly. The Historic district was a true southern town feel with a lot of charm! Can't wait to visit this area again!!!!

Very lovely town with a New England-y feel. Decent restaurants (a couple of fantastic ones) and fun shopping!

We enjoyed 2 days on Amelia Island celebrating our 19th Wedding Anniversary - highlights were dinner at Ritz-Carlton Coast Restaurant, shopping downtown Centre Street shops, walking the Amelia Island and Fernandina Beach trails, Sunset off the Pier after a lovely dinner at Brett's! Expensive place but great for a special occasion. The 19th century architecture was eye candy and the History Museum was enlightening. Well worth a visit!

After attending a wedding in Fernandina, we decided to spend Sunday exploring the Amelia Island Historic District. I'd visited only once prior, probably fifteen years earlier, but that windy March day with maximum temps reaching into the high fifties was not conducive to strolling waterfront streets to explore the sights. Fortunately, during my second visit our balmy mid-October setting turned out to be ideal.
I was pleased to learn that the historic district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2021, so it will always be preserved for future generations to enjoy. The Visitor Center, located in a renovated railroad depot, was closed on Sunday, so we decided to wing it.
Our first stop was Amelia Island Coffee, which offers a good selection of gourmet blends. After enjoying iced coffees we headed toward the riverfront and found the historic site of the Revolutionary War invasion in 1777 as well as the site of Florida's first Atlantic coast to Gulf coast railroad in 1853. The tracks that run parallel to the river are still in place, and we walked them like hobos for a few blocks to check out some old train cars parked there.
I'm always fascinated with our history, so we took time to stop and read about the war and the railroad and the William Bartram Trail, named after a naturalist who spent four years documenting the unique flora and fauna of our state. The street is lined with historic buildings, like the US Post Office & Customs House that opened in 1912 and the Nassau County Courthouse, which opened in 1891 and is one of few remaining courthouses in Florida that were built in the 19th century. I would have loved to tour the Lesesne House, built circa 1860, which might be the only post and beam construction house remaining on the island.
Shopping is especially interesting in the historic district because far more options are available than the typical tourist trinket and clothing boutiques that I'm accustomed to seeing. The Christmas store alone was worth an hour of our time, and the gourmet tea shop is irresistible. Check out Pelindaba Lavender, which sells everything lavender (and nothing else).
Our visit could not have been more perfect. The total area of the historic district heart is only a few blocks long - not one/tenth the size of Saint Augustine's ancient city and not half as old. But it's incredibly charming nonetheless. If this wasn't a 2-hour drive from home, I could make a habit of spending time here.

The historic district has a wide variety of shops and restaurants and is a great place to spend a day or two. We stayed at a B&B near the historic district and spent about 10 hours total walking around, eating, and shopping. It's only about 7-8 blocks long with a variety of antique stores, specialty shops, boutiques, etc. and no chains really which is nice that everything is local(ish). Same with restaurants, you won't find a Subway or Chilis here, just a lot of good local places, all of which were great in our opinion. The area is dog friendly although I'll warn a lot of the dogs were not well behaved, although not dangerous by any means.

Super quaint shops and area to walk around after dinner. A lot of the stores closed early so we didn't get to go in, but still beautiful and serene to enjoy the area.

I love little towns like this: architecturally stunning, walkable, tree-lined, by the water, the list goes on.

How close is the historic district to the marina area? Walking distance??

So they didn’t exactly answer that question. The marina is one block from historic district. The district itself is 4 blocks x 8. Worth the stop

How many blocks from beach to historic district?

Long walk, suggest you drive. Once there, you can park your car and walk everywhere within four blocks, give or take. Several good casual restaurants in area. Recommendation ... visit the Welcome/information Center, right by the train tracks. Actually, the Center is the old train station. Here you will find out what's happening, and what might be of interest to you and your group. Have fun!
