The Fernandina Beach center point is around the area of Historic Downtown Fernandina Beach and the area of Amelia Island Museum History.
Florida sees the most significant tourism and price hikes in the winter and during March, when most college spring breaks happen. That means if you want to save, plan to visit Florida in late spring, summer, or fall. For those looking to escape snowy winter wonderlands, Fernandina Beach is a lovely spot for a winter vacation. However, given its northern location, you may run into days that are too chilly for a comfortable beach visit.
That being said, Florida weather gets very hot and humid in the summer, so if you do choose to go during the summer off-season, save your beach visits for morning or evening, and avoid the hottest part of the day. You can avoid some of this humidity by saving your visit for October, as long as hurricane season doesn't worry you. Kids will be back in school, so you're less likely to run into families on vacation.
