Peters Point is an open beach break on the central section of Amelia Island, offering scattered peaks with fewer crowds than Main Beach or the pier. The hard-packed sand near the waterline and east-facing exposure pick up NE Atlantic swells well. A good second option when the main breaks are too crowded, with free parking, restrooms, and seasonal lifeguards.
