Amelia Island Florida Accommodations

When to Visit Amelia Island, FL

Thanks to its location perched on Florida's Atlantic Coast, Amelia Island enjoys hot, humid summers and mild winters. Highs reach the low 90s throughout the summer months, and the area receives significant rainfall from the summer through the fall. This coincides with the Atlantic hurricane season, so be sure to keep an eye on the weather if you're visiting from late June through late November.

From the late fall through the early spring, highs hover in the mid-60s or low 70s, and skies remain relatively dry. Though winter is still a popular season for visiting Amelia Island, keep in mind that you won't necessarily find ideal beach weather at this time.

Be sure to book your accommodations in advance if you visit Amelia Island during one of its popular annual events. The Isle of Eight Flags Shrimp Festival attracts shrimp lovers from far and wide in late April, while the Pétanque America Open draws competitors and spectators alike for this classic French Mediterranean game.
