    Fun fort to visit
    Fort Clinch is a beautiful state park with lots of bike trails and camping available. Although we didn't do that, we did explore the fort and learned a lot of history about what it contributed to the civil war. They actually do reenactments of everyday fort operations during the first weekend each month. I highly recommend visiting here if you're in the area!

    Go visit Fort Clinch
    My family and I recently visited Fort Clinch State Park in Fernandina. The visit was the first time since I was a young teen and the first ever for my wife and two young girls. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there, taking about 2.5 hours to walk around the grounds, check out many of the rooms and buildings on site and briefing through the museum. The museum is quite small and limited, but it does have some interesting artifacts on display. There were historically dressed actors on the property giving oral historical accounts and even some cannon shots fired. On our way out of the park we took the road down to the carpark and beach. This was the first time I had ever visited the beach portion and all my life I've heard about the fishing pier located there. However, it is no longer at the park, but the boardwalk and bath houses were very nice. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our time there and recommend for anyone to visit that would like to see a Northern fortification built in the deep south. The story behind it and the history is very neat, even for a Southerner like myself.
