For several reasons, visiting a vacation destination’s hot spots is a must-do no matter where you travel. First, hot spots can showcase a city’s culture – a vital part of truly experiencing a new city. Second, the area likely will have many things to do, so all members of your group should be satisfied with their options. Finally, instead of worrying about Ubers, rentals cars, or buses, you can walk from place to place. When visiting Amelia Island, Main Street in downtown Fernandina Beach is the hot spot you cannot miss. Although it’s not a singular street like its name suggests, a larger area means there’s more to discover. Stay at one of our Fernandina Beach rentals through Amelia Rentals to be close to shopping, restaurants, and the arts in Main Street.
