2601 Atlantic Avenue
Fernandina Beach, Florida 32034
Secluded park with quiet experiences. Not a lot of restaurants or distracted nearby attractions. If you are wanting to reset and relax, this is the place to go. Campsites are small, but it appears the park is working on updating sites to improve.

VERY dog-friendly town (several restaurants)
*State Park prohibits dogs on beaches due to wildlife protection; however, public beaches allow dogs.
The small-town atmosphere offers great opportunities to relax. Whether you want to ride bikes, kayak, surf, fish, catch some rays or fly kites Fernandina Beach has lots to offer. A great location to take time to relax and enjoy your vacation without the hustle of larger cities. Recommend Sliders, excellent food, and a very dog-friendly atmosphere.
