Amelia Island Lighthouse is one of the most visited attractions in the Fernandina Beach area of Florida. Located at 215 O. Hagan Ln, this museum offers something for everyone.
The Amelia Island Lighthouse has been standing in its current location since 1838, and is the oldest surviving lighthouse in Florida. The museum offers a variety of opportunities to learn about the history of the island, as well as to get a unique view from up to 90 feet in the air from the top of the lighthouse.
The museum includes walk-through exhibits that span over 200 years of history, including artifacts, photographs and displays about the island's maritime history, Native American settlements and the history of Fort Clinch. Visitors can also take part in lighthouse tours year-round which offer a behind-the-scenes look at what it was like to be a light keeper at Amelia Island Lighthouse in the late-1800s.
One of the most popular features of the Amelia Island Lighthouse is the observation deck that offers one-of-a-kind views of the beach. Visitors can also learn more about local wildlife during an experience with one of the museum’s guide birders.
The observation deck and birding programs are popular for groups, with special packages available that include a guided tour, snacks and refreshments. These packages make for an unforgettable experience for any group looking for something unique and informative to do in Fernandina Beach.
