There’s something to be said for a state park that holds a little bit of history. Fort Clinch State Park in Fernandina Beach is one such park.
Fort Clinch offers guests a mixture of nature and historical value. Situated on a peninsula near the northernmost point of Amelia Island, Fort Clinch was one of Florida’s first state parks, designated in 1935. The history of the fort dates back much further than that, though.
“The first fortifications on the site began in 1736, but it wasn’t until almost a century later that Fort Clinch as we know it today began to take shape,” says Alex Cronin from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
