A favorite island pastime for visitors and locals alike is to canvas Amelia's sandy shores and surf line in search of seashells. Winds and waves reveal a marvelous variety of shells along the island's pristine shoreline, many unbroken and unworn. Easy to collect and identify, most shells can be found along the high-tide line. Along her 13-miles of shoreline, Amelia Island has a variety of public beaches and parks. Main Beach, the largest public beach park on the island, is great for beachcombing or swimming, and offers free parking, restrooms, picnic tables and more. Seaside Park is another great option, and includes a parking lot, boardwalk and gazebos. Fort Clinch State Park, located north of Fernandina Beach, also offers a beach for visitors.
