About Fort Clinch State Park
A brick fortification from the 1800s anchors this park, standing at the tip of Amelia Island where the Amelia River meets Cumberland Sound. The 1,100 acres surrounding it hold sand dunes, open plains, maritime hammock and estuarine tidal marsh, giving the grounds a mix of coastal habitats around the historic structure. Its position on the peninsula places it at the entrance to Cumberland Sound.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
