Fernandina Beach

[Jcalvin]

We decided to take a short get away this week, so we went to Fernandina Beach (about 45 minutes down the road across the Georgia/Florida line). 
 

I’m not sure how many pictures I’ll have a chance to take for the next couple if days, but here are just a few.

Fernandina Beach is my favorite beach ever!

I was there in June...i got some good pics of the palms at the State Park on the south end.

Nice little place. This was our first time staying in downtown Fernandina, and we’ve really enjoyed it. We’ve always traveled farther south, towards Saint Augustine to Cocoa or Ormond, and even towards the panhandle.
We really just wanted to make a short trip before school started, so we just decided to stay closer to the house. And, a lot of the bigger “touristy” places are outrageously expensive right now.

We’ve really only walked around one strip in the historic district and drove to the beach; so, I’m sure there are some real gems hidden in Fernandina and Amelia. 
 

Sorry for the quality, and the pictures really don’t do this quant little town justice. Has all the feels of a historic, majestic southern town.

I have always wondered how old those Sago palms at the St Andrews church is.... they have to be 100 years or older

I had to scroll back up and realized I thought the tallest one was a palm in the back. That’s insane, I’ve never seen a sago that old before!!!!
