About Peters Point
Peters Point Beachfront Park offers a more relaxed beach experience compared to the busier Main Beach area. Located on the south end of Amelia Island, this peaceful park features beautiful dune boardwalks, covered pavilions, and access to a quieter stretch of Atlantic coastline perfect for families and nature lovers.
The park is particularly beloved for its excellent shelling opportunities and the natural, less-developed feel of its beach. It's a favorite among locals and visitors seeking a more tranquil coastal experience.
Amenities & Features
Beach Access: Well-maintained boardwalks wind through preserved dunes to reach wide, sandy beach. The natural dune system provides beautiful scenery and protects the coastline.
Covered Pavilions: Several covered picnic pavilions with tables make this an excellent spot for family gatherings and beach picnics. Some can be reserved for events.
Restrooms & Showers: Clean restroom facilities and outdoor showers to rinse off after beach time.
Shelling: The beach at Peters Point is known for excellent shelling, especially after storms and at low tide. Look for sand dollars, whelks, and various shells.
Visitor Tips
Parking fills up on weekends but is generally easier to find than at Main Beach. The park is dog-friendly before 9am and after 5pm. Bring your own beach gear—no rentals available. For best shelling, arrive at low tide and walk south toward the inlet.
