If you are looking for a tranquil getaway, give a good look at Amelia Island, along Florida’s northeast coast. Just 30 minutes from Jacksonville, it is a world apart. Golden-hued sands and guided horseback rides along the shore. Dolphin and osprey and maybe even a glimpse of the endangered right whale. All of this, plus oceanfront accommodations at Beachside makes Amelia Island a perfect spot for gentle recreation, historical exploration or just enjoying a good book. In fact, the Conde Nast Reader’s Choice Awards panel agrees: Amelia Island consistently ranks among its “Top 10 US Islands.”
