10 Best Things to See and Do at Fort Clinch State Park, Fernandina Beach

Nature and history come together at Fort Clinch State Park. Located in Fernandina Beach where the Cumberland Sound and Atlantic Ocean meet, this diverse 14-hundred acre park features maritime hammocks with massive moss-covered live oak trees. Several miles of pristine beach with hard-packed sand can be ridden with large-tire bicycles during low tide.

At its heart is a massive 19th century brick coastal fortification constructed as part of the US military’s Third System of seacoast defense.

The fort was named to honor Seminole War General Duncan Lamont Clinch. It’s shaped like a pentagon, with five sides and bastions on each corner. Designed to mount 70 pieces of heavy ordinance, it was never fully armed and never saw any direct combat.

One of the jewels of the Florida State Park system, there’s a lot to experience here. In this episode, we run down the 10 best things to see and do at Fort Clinch State Park.
