Routes / Jacksonville, FL to Amelia Island

« on: January 30, 2009, 02:29:03 pm »

I hope to bike all or part of the east coast of Florida in late April to early May. I plan to take a train to Jacksonville then bike to Fernandina Beach to start. Does anyone have any advice on routes from the Amtrak station to Amelia Island? The obvious (but not shortest) route seems to be northwest on US 1 to A1A at Callahan, then east. But I’d like to know if there are other routes that are shorter and preferable. I’d like to approach Amelia Island from the west (rather than the south), if possible, to minimize covering that same section of the coast twice. Thank you!

Connecting ACA Routes / Getting to Amela Island FL from Jacksonville

« on: July 10, 2007, 10:50:17 am »

I previously posted this in the "Routes" forum and got no replies, so I thought I'd try here.

I plan to bike the east coast of Florida next spring (late April to early May). I will take a train or plane to Jacksonville and bike to Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island to start. Does anyone have any advice on routes from the Amtrak station or airport to Amelia Island? From Amtrak, the logical (but not shortest) route seems to be northwest on US 1 to A1A at Callahan, then east. From the airport, US 17 north to AIA. But I'd like to know if there are other non-main roads that are safe and don't traverse bad areas.
Thanks.
