Neighborhood Overview:

The Mermaid Castle is located in a residential area towards the south end of the island.

Within a mile or two, there is a Harris Teeter grocery store and several great restaurants such as Pogo’s Kitchen, Lagniappe, and Marche Burette. The Omni Amelia Island Plantation Resort and Ritz Carlton are also close by – you can access some of their amenities such as restaurants, the “Shops at Amelia Island Plantation,” the Ritz spa, and the Omni’s marsh front golf course even though the Mermaid Castle has no affiliation with them.

North of the Mermaid Castle, you will find Main Beach which features the Salt Life and Sandbar Kitchen restaurants, a playground, and beachside putt putt golf. From there, Amelia Island's downtown historic district is just a short drive down Atlantic Avenue. There you will find plenty of wonderful restaurants, shopping, nightlife, and local culture. Fort Clinch State Park is also located along Atlantic Avenue. The park features the 19th century Fort Clinch (still open to the public for tours), a great beach, and lots of beautiful trails for hiking or biking.

Amelia Island State Park and the Big & Little Talbot State Parks are all located to the south of the house. Boneyard Beach in Big Talbot State Park is extremely unique and worth a trip. Kelly’s Seahorse Ranch is located adjacent to Amelia Island State Park and offers guided beach horseback rides directly from the oceanfront ranch.
