Amelia Pier is considered the best surf spot on Amelia Island, where the pier structure focuses wave energy into better-shaped peaks than the open beach stretches. Located on South Fletcher Avenue, it produces big surf that can be found on most tides depending on conditions. When a solid NE swell hits, the pier area delivers some of the island's most consistent and rideable waves.
