Spot Guide
American Beach is a historically significant stretch of shoreline on south Amelia Island, founded in 1935 as a recreation destination for African Americans during segregation. Home to NaNa, the tallest sand dune in Florida, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The surf is similar to the rest of the island — open beach break peaks on NE swells — but the compact beach and lesser-known status keep crowds minimal.
