Amelia Island Fishing Spots

The same lot that provides parking for the George Crady Bridge also provides access to the beach on Nassau Sound and the south point of Amelia Island for surf fishing. (satellite image)

You can walk along the sound with a beach cart to the ocean, or you can drive a four wheel drive vehicle on this section of Amelia Island's beach. The park is open 24 hours a day and the entrance fee is $1.00 per person.

This is one of the few areas left on Amelia Island where driving on the beach is allowed. Pay attention to the signs; some areas of the beach are closed to vehicle traffic because of nesting areas for birds.

The beach along Nassau Sound is sometimes covered with water at a high flood tide, so pay attention to the tide charts if you plan on driving around the point to the ocean for surf fish. This area is referred to by the local fishermen as the "south end", so if you hear that term, this is where we're talking about.
