Hooks is a sandy beach break on the north end of Amelia Island near Fernandina Beach, facing east-northeast into the open Atlantic. It produces fast, fun waves that favor lefts, working best on NE swells at mid to high tide. Sandbars have been affected by dredging over the years, but it still delivers consistent small surf and is a solid option when other island spots are too crowded.
