Searching for Shark Teeth at Fort Clinch
August 28th, 2013 by Charles Young
We spent about an hour near the fort to look for shark teeth that get deposited on the beach whenever the Corps of Engineers dredge the channel between Amelia and Cumberland Islands. We were lucky to find three teeth and our guests have found many more.
Many people don’t realize that our tiny little island hosts a beautiful, award-winning state park, Fort Clinch. This 10,000-plus acre park boasts the title, “National Gold Medal Winner” and is America’s only two-time winner. Not only is it home to the Great Florida Birding Trail and other floral and fauna, you can bask on its pristine beaches, search for rare shells and shark teeth, and take in some history there! This park provides a critical habitat for numerous wildlife such as white tailed deer, bobcats and raccoons! With its numerous hiking and biking trails, don’t be surprised if you run into one! The first weekend of every month the park holds its Civil War Fort Garrisons. History comes alive as costumed soldiers and civilians recreate life as it might have been during the War Between the States. Activities include artillery and medical demonstrations, soldier drills, and duties from the Fort’s laundry, infirmary, kitchen, barracks, quartermaster and carpenter’s shops.
Love and Play Package
February 2nd, 2013 by Charles Young
Love romantic comedies? If so, you won’t want to miss Almost, Maine, a hilarious yet touching celebration of love at the Amelia Community Theatre throughout February. Set in the mythical town of Almost, Maine, this play, with its large cast of 19, presents nine different stories of couples who fall in and out of love in unexpected and surprising ways, all on the same cold, clear, moonless night. Lead director Geoffrey King, enjoyed being able to show a slice from so many different relationships, each dealing with different characters and different circumstances. You’ll meet “love-lost, love-found, love-rediscovered, and love-appreciated.” A quirky part of the play involves a woman demanding that her boyfriend “return” all the love she has given him. In another part, a woman carries her broken, hardened heart around in a sack as she keeps watch for the Northern Lights. Director Laura Swaim believes everyone can relate to most of the scenarios. Shows run the weekends of Feb. 7-9, 14-16, and 21-23 and at 2 pm on Sunday, Feb. 17. The theater is just a few walking blocks from the Blue Heron Inn. Let us arrange a romantic dinner for you before the show! Come celebrate your special romance with us at the Blue Heron Inn.

For this event we are offering two complimentary tickets to the play Almost, Maine with a two night minimum. Advance reservations for this offer must be made by calling 904-445-9034.
Boneyard Beach…Cool! No Bones About It!
January 7th, 2013 by Charles Young
The area around Amelia Island is just brimming with natural wonders! Take Boneyard Beach, for example. Don’t let the name scare you – it’s not full of bones – just salt-washed skeletons of live oak and cedar trees that have fallen onto the beach due to beach erosion. They remain there until the tide takes them out or they become fully eroded. What you have is a fascinating display of super-large driftwood and a photographer’s dream! Boneyard Beach is located at the northern most tip of Big Talbot Island, about a 20 minute drive from Amelia Island and a perfect place for a picnic lunch. There are many cool trails to explore there that provide diverse habitats for bird-watching and nature study. After exploring on foot consider launching a boat from the north end of the island to fish and tour the salt marshes. Or consider renting a kayak and taking a guided tour with Kayak Amelia (888) 30-KAYAK. Kayak tours require advanced reservations.
