Things To Do

The beauty of an Amelia Island Vacation at the Elizabeth Pointe Lodge is the combination of luxurious accommodations and the wide variety of activities and attractions that the island has to offer. You might take a day, stay “close to home”, and enjoy the beach that is just a stroll away from the inn or relax on our oceanfront porches with your favorite book, but you will also want to get out and explore! Outdoor enthusiasts will love the variety of activities available to them on the island such as hiking, biking, kayaking, fishing, sailing, horseback riding or unique Eco-tours on Segways. Fernandina Beach is an excellent place to enjoy fine dining, shopping and local history. Regardless of which Amelia Island attractions you choose to experience during your getaway, you will love returning to the comfort of your beautiful Elizabeth Pointe Lodge guestroom each evening.
