Spring Break & Family Travel: Making the Most of Your Amelia Island Getaway
Spring has officially arrived, and there is no better place to be than Amelia Island. Whether your family is checking into the Home2 Suites by Hilton Amelia Island, the Courtyard by Marriott, or settling into a vacation rental along South Fletcher, the island is alive with blooming jasmine and the perfect coastal breeze.
At Amelia Island Transportation, we know that the journey from Jacksonville International (JAX) to the beach sets the tone for your entire stay. Our goal is simple: to get your family to the sand safely, comfortably, and without the stress of navigating holiday traffic yourself.
What’s Happening Now: The Fernandina Beach Songwriters Festival
If you are visiting us this week, you’ve picked a spectacular time to arrive. From April 10–11, 2026, the island is hosting the Fernandina Beach Songwriters Festival. This event brings incredible musical talent to our historic downtown, offering a rare "behind-the-curtain" look at the art of songwriting. It’s a unique experience for music lovers of all ages:
The Stories Behind the Music: Hear world-class artists perform their original work and share the personal stories that inspired the hits in intimate venues like the Tigre Island Room.
Intimate Venues: Performances take place in charming locations throughout downtown Fernandina, creating a cozy, "unplugged" atmosphere that captures the true spirit of the island.
A Local Favorite: Beyond the beach chair, this festival is a wonderful way to experience the local culture and creative energy that defines Fernandina Beach.
Your "Welcome to the Island" Experience
Traveling with a family usually means traveling with stuff. From strollers and sand toys to oversized suitcases for a week at the beach, we know your luggage needs space. We provide a spacious private minivan service specifically designed to accommodate families and their gear. When you book with us, you aren’t just getting a ride; you’re getting a professional, local head start on your vacation:
Plenty of Room for the Whole Party: Our fleet of minivans and 14-passenger minibuses offers the cargo space families need. Whether you have golf clubs for the Omni Amelia Island Resort or a mountain of beach gear, we have you covered.
Safe and Clean Environment: We maintain our vehicles to a professional standard, providing a sanitized and comfortable space so you can finally relax after your flight.
Flight Monitoring at JAX: We track your flight’s progress in real-time. Whether you land early at JAX or face a late-night delay, we will be waiting at the terminal to ensure your transition to the island is seamless.
