Holidays in Fernandina Beach

Originally named Isla de Santa Maria by the Spanish, Fernandina Beach holidays are situated on modern day Amelia Island. The French, British, Patriots of Amelia Island, Green Cross of Florida, Mexicans, Confederates and now the US have all laid claim to this dreamlike island.
