Amelia Island

While a remote tropical isle may be the ultimate winter escape, you need only head to the northeasternmost tip of Florida for an unspoiled, unpretentious refuge. Framed by 40-foot dunes, Amelia Island’s white sand beaches are remarkably uncrowded in mid-winter, in contrast to their more southerly counterparts.

You’ll also find plenty of fishing – on the island and offshore – bird watching, and horseback riding, and about 120 holes of that famous Sunshine State golf. At sunset, make your way to the downtown docks for the shrimp fleet’s return to Fernandina Harbor.
