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

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

If you are in the area this is a must-see. Plenty to do- camping, biking, hiking, running, fishing, swimming, etc. The fort is fabulous and well-preserved and kept up. The re-enactors are knowledgeable and make the experience. more

I spent a weekend here with my 7 year old son earlier this year & we had a blast. We camped - in tents - and the campsite was very much what you would expect from a Florida State Park. I've always been happy with the accommodations provided. Anyway - my main reason for writing this review is because I... more

If you go to Ameilia Island you must save a day for Fort Clinch. This is part of a state park. It costs $5 to get in. People camp, bike, hike, look for seashells, and fish. Bring your suite, chairs, umbrella, money, and food. We did not bring lunch and wish we had. There are vending machines and showers. We... more

My wife and I visited Fort Clinch State Park on October 20, 2006. The entrance fee is $5 per car for the park. You can leave and re-enter the park the same day for that fee. The entrance fee for the fort is $2 per person. We parked and walked to the beach which has a half mile long fishing... more

It may cost $5 to get into Fort Clinch State Park (public access to the beach in other places is free), but the fee is worth it. The park has a historic fort, walking trails and a beach that is away from the crowd (and the buildings that line the central part of the Amelia Island shoreline). more
