It is a new age for travel everywhere. We, here, at the Blue Heron Inn are taking serious steps to ensure your utmost safety and well-being while staying with us. We are following the guidance of local health officials, the State of Florida and the CDC. These measures include: wearing face masks when social distancing is not an option; supplying hand sanitizers in all common areas and guest rooms; wearing of masks by all staff while interacting with guests; implementing special cleaning protocols for guest rooms and public spaces with particular attention to high touch areas. Our small size also allows us to minimize the risk of exposure: there are no crowds here! So come, relax, and enjoy all that the Blue Heron Inn and Amelia Island have to offer.
Our beautiful little barrier island in northern Florida offers up plenty of pristine beaches, quaint walkable downtown, top-notch restaurants, fantastic water activities and plenty of history. But did you know Amelia Island has 13 MILES of unspoiled beaches, most with free public access? Or that we have 42 MILES of scenic biking and hiking trails? What about that it was named for a princess and was a home to wayward pirates? How about that it has 117 holes of golf with 7 holes on the Atlantic Ocean? And that it has a 50 BLOCK National Historic District with 100-plus restaurants (more than 30 within walking distance from our inn)! Did you know that 8 FLAGS have flown over the island since 1564? Learn even more when you come to stay awhile! See you soon on the island. 
Let us help you plan you intimate, small, romantic wedding… at the Blue Heron Inn. The idea of a “Secret Garden” wedding area here at the Blue Heron all began with an idea from my incredibly smart husband, David. (Of course I had some good input, too!) First, we moved the fence back to enlarge the area right behind the pool. Next, we cleared out small brush to create cool pathways. Then we added intimate lanterns, lighting and an iron arbor, found at a local antique store. Last but not least – a fountain for the relaxing sound of flowing water. We can’t wait for you to see the final rendition…beautiful for small weddings, receptions, or just a “romantic get-a-away!”

Blue Heron Inn guests donned their stylish bathrobes and slippers and headed for the Historic District this past Friday for shopping, shopping, and shopping! Downtown stores offered discounts and treats for those dressed in their PJs from 8 am until noon. The men took to T-Rays, a local breakfast/burger joint known for its down-home cooking, for breakfast and then headed off for an afternoon of fishing. They caught everything but fish…Crab, Stingray, Shark.
