The North Florida area is known as the First Coast because of the early French, Spanish and English colonial periods. I love this area because it is very different from the rest of Florida, offering a much easier lifestyle and many quaint places to visit.

Amelia Island and Fernandina Experience Tour

The tour revolves around Amelia Island which was founded by the French, settled by the Spanish, named by the English, and tamed by the Americans. It is the only area in the U. S. to have been under eight different flags! Our first stop will be at Kingsley Plantation to hear the amazing story of Anna, a former slave who rose to become a property owner. We explore the grounds which include the slave quarters, barn, waterfront, kitchen house, and interpretive garden. We take the old buccaneer trail across Ft. George Island and the Talbot Islands following the picturesque Atlantic coastline. Next we go to the quaint town of Fernandina to hear the stories from the Fairbanks Folly to Florida's oldest tavern and resident ghost. The turn of the century town is filled with Victorian architecture and has the appearance of being caught in a time capsule.

Perhaps the best kept secret in Florida. Turn back the clock in this charming area of the First Coast on your personalized luxury tour.
