Living at Amelia National Golf & Country Club, a signature ICI Homes master-planned community, means enjoying fabulous Florida weather year-round.
But, when that weather gets a bit extra? Amelia National’s prime northeast Florida location gives residents plenty of fun things to do indoors (we see you, heat, humidity, and summer showers).
Begin at Amelia National’s stunning clubhouse, the community’s amenity anchor. Work up a sweat in the fitness center. Attend a trainer-led yoga or workout class. Meet friends and neighbors for a tasty meal and luscious drinks in the dining room or 19th hole bar and grill. Or, round up those friends and neighbors for a fun cookout on your covered lanai.
And, when it’s time to seek indoor fun elsewhere, there’s no lack of activities and entertainment in Amelia National’s hometown of Fernandina Beach. Cruise through some options below.
Adventures in Reading
Fernandina Beach offers several places to curl up with a good book or to find a new title for your reading list. Browsing a bookstore is also a rewarding indoor activity for kids and grandkids, a sure way to ignite young imaginations and conversations with adults.
A Fernandina Beach branch of the Nassau County Public Library system is located downtown. The Book Loft is another nearby option, as is Story & Song Bookstore Bistro on Park Avenue.
Pro tip: Don’t miss the annual Amelia Island Book Festival each February.
Artistic Endeavors
Taking an art class not only feeds our creativity, it’s also a unique way to have fun with folks you know, or to meet new friends indoors.
Several Fernandina Beach-area art studios offer classes in different disciplines such as painting and drawing, plus popular “make-it” events where an instructor leads attendees step by step through the process of creating an original drawing, pottery piece or embellished sign.
Amelia Makery and Paisley Grace Makery, both downtown Fernandina Beach-based, are two outlets that offer creative events and classes.
Indoor Play
Amelia National residents can still compete when it’s hot, humid or drizzly outside!
Try Duck Pinz, a mini-bowling alley in downtown Fernandina Beach and Golf Pub Social on Sadler Road. Duck Pinz includes an second-floor bar that overlooks its lanes, and Golf Pub Social offers three playable Trackman golf simulators. A covered patio makes Golf Pub Social inviting even during those summer showers, with table tennis and corn hole boards available for additional competition. Expect pub fare and libations for sustenance.
Tour a Museum
Whether you’re a current or prospective Amelia National resident, one of the many perks of living in the Fernandina Beach-Amelia Island region is its history. Centuries of major events and historical twists and turns occurred here, and there are multiple museums and conserved historical sites that tell you all about it.
Start with the Amelia Island Museum of History, then branch out to others. Compile a museum checklist for regular comfy indoor outings with family and friends.
