You are never far from the pristine natural beauty of tranquil waters and white, sandy beaches. It is no wonder Amelia Island is such a popular place with discerning travelers who appreciate its charm and authenticity. Thirteen miles of clean beach await you at Amelia Island. Swimming, surfing, fishing, jogging, kite flying, and beach combing for shells and shark’s teeth are some of the many things you'll find to do on Amelia's beautiful beaches. The Addison has a full supply of beach gear for you to take with you including coolers, beach chairs, towels and umbrellas.

You can always check out our beaches with the live web-cams installed at Main Beach and at the south end of the island at www.AmeliaBeaches.com.

Horseback Riding

Everyone can enjoy riding on Amelia Island's beautiful ocean-side beaches. Kelly Sea Horse Ranch (904-491-5166) offers group trail rides along the beaches of Amelia Island State Recreation Area at the south end of the island.

Ride The Beaches offers a more private riding experience with just the two of you, your guide and, of course, the horses. Horses are selected based on the rider's experience level and they love to gallop in the surf. Reservations can be made with Debbie at 904-277-7047.
