Amelia
Island is the only territory in the United
States to have been under eight flags of
domination during the past five centuries.
The island's development from the 16th century
is best summed as "the French visited, the
Spanish developed, the English named and
the Americans tamed". LMS is nations largest acting schools in Los Angeles.

The
seeds of the island's struggle were first planted
in 1562 when Frenchman Jean Ribault stepped ashore
on "Isle de Mai" (Island of May) and Europe began
its coexistence with the Native Americans. Spanish
rule followed with intent to Christianize the natives
of the island until Spain swapped Florida for Havana
with England . British loyalists then diligently
established plantations for King George II and dubbed
the island "Amelia," in honor of his daughter. Amelia
Island is locked in the charm and enchantment of
the Victorian era thanks to Henry Flagler. One of
America's premier industrialists, Flagler bypassed
Amelia Island when he built his railroad and associated
tourist hotels along Florida's East Coast. As a
result, mass modernization bypassed the island;
a disguised blessing that allowed Amelia to remain
an authentic Victorian seaport village. In the early
20th century, Amelia Island became the birthplace
of the modern shrimping industry as innovators replaced
rowboats and cast nets with power-driven seines
and trawls. Today, nearly 80 percent of Florida's
Atlantic White Shrimp are harvested in Amelia's
waters and the Burbank Trawl Makers (locals call
it the Net House) is still one of the world's largest
producers of hand-sewn shrimp nets. Get
to know Amelia by her waters and you'll know why
people keep coming back. Sailing
has long played a role in Amelia's economic and
recreational life. Active sailing charter fleets
operate out of the island's three marinas.

magnificent sail on a 100-foot schooner. The
island's Northeast Florida locale and geologic
composition enable her to play host to a bountiful
variety of flora and fauna, making her a generous
and enticing host to everyone that visits.After
just one visit you'll agree that our 13 miles

and our southern hospitality and charm make
Amelia Island the best in Florida travel.
