Old Town

For those who appreciate history, or love getting out on the water, this is an ideal location to drop anchor. The proximity to water and the town’s rich heritage is what attracts newcomers here, who can literally walk to the local marina in a matter of minutes. The historic area of Old Town is located along Egans Creek, a short walk from the downtown waterfront. Residents can walk to the marina and enjoy miles of water views or take to their boats for a day out on the sea. Walking through old cobblestoned streets is an adventure in itself, with plenty of antique shops waiting along the way! You’ll quickly learn why Coastal Living named Fernandina one of its HAPPIEST SEASIDE TOWNS. Take a stroll in the historic district and visit nearby islands. Explore Fernandina island history at museums and visit our gorgeous beaches. Try your hand at fishing, kayaking, or canoeing on local waterways. You might even be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of our famous resident dolphin population!
