Fernandina Beach Guidebook
Sightseeing
The fort is inside the park and has a plethora of historic artifacts to see in the museum. The best part is the reenactors that play their roles in 1864 perfectly. I loved seeing the fort setup as if we had truly stepped back in time. The views from the ramparts over Cumberland sound it breathtaking. We walked the beach searching for sharks teeth but did not find any today. We did see the wild horses on the island using binoculars.
