Amelia Island

I’ll be down in Amelia Island, FL for about 3 days next week teaching. Hope to also get in some paddling. Does anyone know where you can put in? I’m bringing my ski, so ocean put ins are what I’m mostly looking for, but nice back bay put ins are also welcome. Any experience with the Amelia Island Plantation- are they going to give me a hard time about bringing a boat, like the Sea Pines Plantation in Hilton Head?



Thanks,



Andrew

There are some great paddling areas around Amelia! Many rivers, inlets, Cumberland Island, Bird island and other small islands, Nassau River, St. Mary’s River, etc.

Email me and let me know where you would like to paddle and I’ll get you info for put-ins, take-outs and other. You are going to an awesome place to paddle! Franklin
