Known for its natural Appalachian quartz beaches and rolling sand dunes, Amelia Island was voted “Best Island in the U.S.”
The internationally acclaimed Global Traveler magazine announced the results of its 2024 Leisure Lifestyle Awards, with readers choosing the island top of its category.
Amelia Island is no stranger to the magazine’s “Best Island” list. This year, it finished ahead of St. Simons and Little St. Simons, Georgia, Hilton Head, South Carolina, Marco Island, Florida, and Maui, Hawaii.
“It is always an honor to be recognized by discerning travelers like the readers of Global Traveler magazine, who truly understand and appreciate what a rare gem Amelia Island is as an island destination,” Gil Langley, President of the Amelia Island Convention & Visitors Bureau (Amelia Island CVB) said. “We’re excited to welcome visitors this summer to discover for themselves why Amelia is indeed the best island in the U.S.”
The survey was conducted over eight months and involved nearly 850,000 readers in print and online formats.
Amelia Island stretches 13 miles long and is around two miles wide at its widest point. The island’s rich history, natural beauty, and countless outdoor activities make it a gem of Northeast Florida.
