Coastal Living Magazine has recently chosen Fernandina Beach as "Best Little Beach Town".
The special 12-page section in the 2010 September Issue of Coastal Living features a list called "Dream Town, The Best Little Beach Towns" and Fernandina Beach has been as one of the top ten in the United States. Places also in the top ten beach towns list are Montauk, New York; Beaufor, North Carolina; Langley, Washington; and Encintias, Califorina.
There were several highlighted Fernandina Beach areas throughout the article. The author, David Hanson, cited the North Beach as the "best beach", he referred to the main beach as "touristy". Fort clinch was "a place to take the kid camping neat the beach five miles away."
It is no surprise Fernandina Beach has made this list. With its historic roots, the town provides a culture that is rarely found in cities today. Canopy roads, historic buildings, and pirate stories, can only be found here. Add all that to the beautiful beaches and you create a unique atmosphere.
This article also supplies Amelia Island's businesses with much needed free marketing. Coastal Living adds a credibility that you cannot get with other advertising. I suspect real estate agents and property managers should see a boost in calls over the next few months.
