    There’s one thing that’s missing: Buy some peanuts from Felix and listen to him play you a song on his harmonica.

    I love Amelia island, best time of my life. The whole area, yulee, fernandina, all are awesome. Indeed, it is the best of Florida and I want it to stay a secret so no one can mess it up?

      Only a fool could think that area is nice. It is ugly as sin and full of every cut throat and reject from up and down the coast.

    Totally enjoyed this video. As I've said before,
    you have a great voice that makes your presentation even better!
    And your photographer, well, she is the best!
    Your Lakeland videos are the reason we are going there next week.
    You've showed us parts of beautiful Florida that we didn't know existed 🏆🦩

    Stop in at Amelia’s Fine Jewelry on Center Street if you would like to own a piece of real treasure. There are shipwreck coins and ancient coins available along with antique and estate jewelry.

    When I was a kid in the 1960s, my family used to erect our tents at the campground at Fort Clinch State Park. Next time I visit I may get to see the Star Trek sets in Kingsland GA.

    My daughters, grand children and one daughter’s mother in law spent Mother”s Day weekend in Amelia Island. We stayed in a hotel in Fernandina but spent the beach day at American Beach. We loved it! Unspoiled, peaceful and built memories collecting sea shells with my 3 year old grandson. I live in Jax and make frequent trips to the area.

    Nice tour. My wife and I visit as much as we can, since we live in Jacksonville.
    Jacksonville is not so interesting. But you might like Neptune Beach with a nice selection of restaurants, a block from the beach. San Marco and River Side are also worth a visit. Both close to downtown which you should avoid.
    But Amelia Island is the Gem. Try breakfast at Beach Diner on Amelia.

    • @ChadGallivanter
      @ChadGallivanter  ปีที่แล้ว

      We love Neptune Beach, San Marco and Riverside. We have videos in our library from the different Jax neighborhoods. Every so often, we make a trip downtown to visit Sweet Pete’s. Great tips Anthony! Thanks.

    Obviously one thing you must do in Fernandina is cut all the trees down and pave over paradise and create more traffic. Because that's what's happening. I'm 6th generation and all my ancestors are turning in their graves.
