For a tranquil getaway, here's Amelia Island, along Florida's northeast coast.

Just 30 miles from Jacksonville, Amelia is a world apart. For family fun, there are golden-hued sands and guided horseback rides along the Atlantic Ocean shore. For outdoors adventures, see dolphin and osprey, and maybe even a glimpse of the endangered right whale.

Luxury hotels and a wonderful selection of bed and breakfasts make Amelia Island the perfect spot for gentle recreation and historical exploration (it was controlled by France, Spain and England). A range of restaurants offers fine dining and fresh seafood for foodies.
