Why Buyers Choose Fernandina Beach
Overview
Fernandina Beach anchors Amelia Island in Nassau County, about 30 miles northeast of Jacksonville, with a preserved Victorian-era downtown and a strong tourism and second-home component. Buyers here are often trading a shorter commute for a slower pace and beach access.
Short-term rental rules vary by zoning, so investors need to confirm what a specific property actually permits.
