Historic Fernandina Beach Downtown

Fernandina Beach is a Victorian seaport rich with tales of pirates and is the birthplace of the American shrimping industry. Explore the town's charming 50‑block district of historic homes and buildings, visit the Florida House Inn built in 1857, or enjoy the Palace Saloon — Florida's oldest continuously operating pub.

The original site of downtown Fernandina Beach was at the Old Town area, the last Spanish city platted in the Western Hemisphere. Later, the hub moved to its present location when David Yulee established the railroad from Fernandina Beach to Cedar Key.
