The Beaches of Northeast Florida stretch for more than 100 miles along the Atlantic coast from Amelia Island to the Daytona Beach area.
The Buccaneer Trail, also known as A1A, is the road of choice to see all these wonderful beaches.

The Buccaneer Trail along A1A on the north side of the St. Johns River and going south, connects Ft. George Island and Amelia Island. This scenic drives affords beautiful views of the Ft. George Inlet, marshes and beaches. 
Being from this area, I believe it to be the prettiest route from Amelia Island to the Jacksonville area.

Amelia Island and Fernandina's beaches are about 13 miles long and two mile wide island,

surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and Nassau Sound. It is nearly 10 percent park land and is edged with 13 miles of beautiful beaches. 

Little Talbot Island State Park and Big Talbot Island, on A1A about 4 miles north of the Mayport Ferry, offer 2,500 acres of beautiful beaches and dunes edged by a coastal hammock with live oak, holly and magnolia.
Huguenot Memorial Park, on Heckscher Dr. (A1A) is a popular beach for surfing, windsurfing, fishing, swimming and camping.

A unique part of the A1A, Buccaneer Trail is the Mayport Ferry, carries cars and pedestrians across the beautiful St. Johns River, from Ft. George Island to Mayport, Florida.
Mayport, Florida is an old fishing village and commercial shrimp boat enter. 
Mayport Naval Station, second largest naval port on the East Coast after Norfolk, is the home of aircraft carriers, destroyers, frigates and the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Kennedy. 

Continuing south on A1A, the picturesque coast through the towns of Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Jacksonville Beach, Ponte Vedra Beach, South Ponte Vedra Beach, Vilano Beach, St. Augustine, St. Augustine Beach and on to Anastasia Island, is a wonderful "DAY TRIP".
