We spent the weekend in Amelia Island, Florida in May 2022. The reason for our trip was to spend time with family in Jacksonville. Amelia Island is a little less than an hour north of Jacksonville. We love the relaxing, Florida vacation vibe of Amelia Island and love using it as a base for time in Jacksonville. Most of our time was spent visiting with family in Jacksonville, so but we still managed to do some sightseeing. We spent a few hours on the beach across the street from our hotel. It is a very peaceful beach and pretty nice.
