We like to refer to the Autumn months as the Secret Season on Amelia Island. Summer has come to an end and many visitors have returned home leaving the island somewhat, quiet. With a long, uncrowded stretch of Atlantic coast beach, a richly historic downtown, diverse and tasty dining options, and an array of accommodations for every style, Amelia Island is the perfect place for a relaxing fall getaway. 

In a February visit to Amelia Island, Guest Blogger, Jaime Huffman, allows us to see the island through her family's eyes during a weekend birthday getaway. 

Amelia Island is renowned for its pristine beaches, charming historic downtown, and world-class golf. But above all, visitors treasure the enchanted atmosphere of natural beauty on Amelia Island. With great year round weather and a unique habitat for observing flora and fauna, it's no wonder nature lovers make their escape here to get into the wild. 

From locally handmade soaps and cottages by the sea to microbreweries and cycling on the Amelia River, the tradition of island hospitality just keeps getting better with these most recent, and soon-to-come, additions to the Amelia Island scene. 

Want to escape to Amelia Island without having to leave your four-legged family members behind?  Here is a doggone good guide to pet-friendly places to stay, eat, play and enjoy.
