Amelia Island Mini Travel Guide

If you’ve never traveled to Amelia Island, Florida put it on your  destination list!  Amelia is very different from a lot of popular Florida beach destinations, you can find miles of untouched rugged beaches, bike trails galore and wonderful restaurants.  What more do you need!!

This mini guide is heavy on Ritz Carlton recommendations. Mainly because once you are on property you’ll never want to leave. Even if you aren’t staying at the hotel, pop in for a margarita the beach bar Coquina. It is has such great vibe that we had to include it as our first room-design inspiration post.

To Do

To Eat

  • Salt- A truly spectacular dining experience located inside the Ritz Carlton

  • The Lobby Bar-Enjoy amazing sushi and a Smokey Old Fashioned overlooking the Atlantic Ocean
