If you're spending a day exploring Amelia Island, Old Town Fernandina is the kind of stop that rewards a little time.

The original town site of Fernandina, established during the Spanish colonial period, located north of the current downtown Historic District. Roughly bounded by Towngate Street, Bosque Bello Cemetery, and the Amelia River, Old Town contains some of the island's oldest structures and was the filming location for the 1988 movie "The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking." Fernandina Plaza State Park marks its center.

Located in Fernandina Beach, it's within a short drive of most parts of Amelia Island.

The venue reads as Historic, Spanish Colonial, Walking Tour, Old Town based on its own positioning, which is a useful signal if you're trying to match it against what you're actually in the mood for.

For current hours, menu (or offerings), and anything else that changes season to season, the business's own site at https://www.fbfl.us/466/Historic-Districts is the source to check; nothing on this page invents a detail that isn't on theirs.

Planning an island visit around attractions like this one pairs well with concierge service for restaurant reservations and transportation between stops.
