This is our favorite quick brunch spot in the Village. Sit down and order the breakfast burrito or grab coffee and a pastry to-go!
Another favorite brunch spot. This family run restaurant has amazing food and a quaint atmosphere. If there is a wait for a table, never fear! The owner is happy to serve you mimosas while you wait.
If you are looking from some good Southern breakfast food, Ms Carolyn's is your place! Also a great place to nurse a hangover.
Slider is perfect for a beach side lunch. They almost always have someone strumming the guitar. Good vibes all around! Upstairs, is called "Tortuga Jacks @ Sliders" this is the breakfast arm of Sliders. Sit out on the porch and look straight down to the ocean, the view is great and watching sunrise there is magical over coffee and eggs.
Funny story, Charlie + Caroline actually stayed at The Surf's motel during one of their 4th of July trips. They ate at The Surf's restaurant multiple times that summer—highly recommend for a beer and seafood lunch.
Charlie + Caroline rode out a hurricane at this restaurant/bar. The fried pickles are great, so are all their pizzas.
This is usually our first stop when we arrive for the 4th of July!
All our guests can expect to spend a good amount of time here! Our favorite place to drink downtown.
Amelia Island's The Palace Saloon is the oldest bar in Florida and was the last American tavern to close during Prohibition. It survived that dry era as an ice cream parlor. Once this bar was a favorite haunt of the Carnegies, the Rockefellers and other socialites. Today—it is where we head after Green Turtle closes for last night drinks and dancing!
Charlie stumbled upon this tiny bar, the guy who runs it is the man. They have an extensive and unique beer list. Enjoy a beer or cocktail with old friends or make new ones, PJD's is an all-around awesome place to hang out with some of the coolest people on the island!
Great lunch or dinner spot very close to the water. Live music (sometimes)!
We have actually never been to Mocama, but it looks amazing every time we pass by on our way into downtown. Brand new location with a big-city vibe to it. Can't vouch for the beer. They do not serve food, but I often see food trucks parked nearby.
Right on the water (per the name). I love walking down on the marina after dinner or while waiting on food to come out.
Newer restaurant for downtown. It is super cute and the food is decent, although I feel like people come here more for the atmosphere. There is usually live music from our friend Brian Ernst.
Our date night spot.
Another date night spot!
Great lunch and dinner spot. Make sure to call ahead!
This is my favorite antique store on the island. I have found so many wonderful things hidden in this store throughout the years—including a part of earrings I'm wearing to my rehearsal dinner!
Growing up, I would love when my mom shopped here because I got to hang out with the store's resident golden, Carolina. Great place for homewares, decor and gifts.
Charlie and I always end up buying something here. Great hats and girls bathing suits. They also have good smoothie place in the back.
This is the place to go for surf lessons. They people here are so sweet and knowledgable. Also a great place to shop—I love their straw hats!
Best ice cream and fudge on the island!!
