From engagements to weddings to babymoons, couples love to mark life's milestones on Amelia Island. Visit and experience nature, long beach walks, and an array of cultural and dining experiences, and you'll understand why. This Valentine's Day, come make memories with the one you love.
With Presidents' Day falling on Monday,Valentine's Day weekend is also a long holiday weekend, so we have crafted a list to keep you just busy enough. Here are 8 (for eternal love) experiences to sweep your special someone off his or her feet faster than a warm Atlantic wave:

horse-drawn carriage downtown or take a
horseback ride along the shore where the beauty of the ocean and its wildlife take your breath away.

A Table for Two: Book a view at one of Amelia Island's most romantic restaurants. For a sweet ending, try the Luxe Artisan Chocolate Bar for exotic delicacies selected by pastry chefs.
