Totally enjoyed this video. As I've said before, you have a great voice that makes your presentation even better! And your photographer, well, she is the best! Your Lakeland videos are the reason we are going there next week. You've showed us parts of beautiful Florida that we didn't know existed 🏆🦩

My daughters, grand children and one daughter’s mother in law spent Mother”s Day weekend in Amelia Island. We stayed in a hotel in Fernandina but spent the beach day at American Beach. We loved it! Unspoiled, peaceful and built memories collecting sea shells with my 3 year old grandson. I live in Jax and make frequent trips to the area.

Nice tour. My wife and I visit as much as we can, since we live in Jacksonville. Jacksonville is not so interesting. But you might like Neptune Beach with a nice selection of restaurants, a block from the beach. San Marco and River Side are also worth a visit. Both close to downtown which you should avoid. But Amelia Island is the Gem. Try breakfast at Beach Diner on Amelia.

We love Neptune Beach, San Marco and Riverside. We have videos in our library from the different Jax neighborhoods. Every so often, we make a trip downtown to visit Sweet Pete’s. Great tips Anthony! Thanks.
