Today on Amelia Island
Reading the tide, sun and sky…
Live tide chart, sunrise and sunset times, water temperature and the sky for Amelia Island and Fernandina Beach, read against what you are actually trying to do today. Low tide widens the beach. High tide is what floats a kayak in the marsh creeks and puts water over the boat ramps. Fishing wants the water moving between the two, and golf ignores the tide completely and reads the sky instead. Readings come from the NOAA tide station at Fernandina Beach, the U.S. Naval Observatory and the National Weather Service, and they refresh through the day.

Pick something above and I'll read the tide and the sky against it.
Tonight
The honest gap: there is no events feed here yet, so this page cannot tell you what is actually on tonight, whether that is a band, a market or a gallery opening. It says so rather than implying a quiet evening.
Once you know the tide
Longer, checked write-ups of the things this page only gives you the conditions for. Same directory behind them, same local reading it.
- Fishing charters on Amelia Island Inshore, nearshore and deep sea, and how to pick between them.
- Renting a bike, kayak or golf cart Who rents what, and which one suits the day you are having.
- Where to eat on Amelia Island Grouped by the evening rather than the cuisine, including takeout.
- Horseback riding on Amelia Island Riding on the beach, and what the tide has to do with it.
- Garage door repair For the days the island is not a holiday.
This is the check for a real defect: a session in July advised a 7 AM window at 9 PM. A page called Today has to know what time it is and stop offering a window once it has passed. Drag forward and watch the open windows close.
