I loved this place. The fort is an interesting place to visit and catch a glimpse of life for 19th century US soldiers. It never saw battle, but was manned through the Civil War and Spanish American War. The soldier and lady re-enactors are people who clearly love their jobs and love interacting with people. The make the attraction much... more

Since we got to the fort late and were only in the area for one day, we didn't get to tour the fort itself. However, the drive in and around the fort was wonderful. We walked out onto the fishing pier, walked around the outside of the fort and generally just enjoyed the outdoors. Nice place to visit and would... more

Thank heaven's for Ft. Clinch! It was about the only thing to do on Amelia Island Fernandina Beach next to walking on the lovely beach. Once you get past the awful smell of the paper mills, the long streach of highway packed with smokey logging trucks, the drive to town past all the old worn buildings in decay along with... more

We visited the fort with our 3 young children and it was enjoyed by all of us. The views of the ocean are amazing as is the fort itself. The fort is well kept with a great staff. Touring through the fort felt like you were stepping back in to time. The brick work and tunnels made you feel more... more

Fort Clinch was one of the highlights of our time in Amelia. The living history exhibit was great and the fort is a great experience for young and old alike. Very worthwhile. more

This is one of our most prized locations to visit while in FLA. We have visited Ft Clinch St Park at least 4 times for camping. The sites are extra large and very private. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and kind. I highly recommend this state park for both day use and camping. Bring your camera as the wildlife and... more

we visited Fort Clinch last week and it should definitely be on your list of things to see in Amelia Island. It costs $5 to get into the park and then just $2 for the Fort. After we visited the fort we went to the beach and picked up shells. It was very hot the day we were there so... more

Wonderfully maintained historical site. A "union soldier" was on duty and showed us around, although he scared my 4 year old some. Very interesting and well maintained. Our kids, ages 4 and 6, were really quite interested in the whole thing. The drive through the park is also beautiful, to see the "real Florida" and the Amelia Island lighthouse. Well... more

While at the beach, visit Fort Clinch! We visited there recently and were delighted to find that Civil War reenactors were there. What luck....they made the fort come to life! They represented the Southern army....just in time before the Yankees came! It was much more interesting to hear their stories and converse with them. It is a well preserved bit... more
