Another update on our new airport terminal here on Amelia Island which is nearing completion and is scheduled for a mid-June opening. Lots of activity going on today with exterior painting, grading of the parking lots and what not.

If you haven’t been following this construction project previously, the building is designed to resemble an F4U Corsair fighter plane from WWII. The “tail, canopy and propeller cowling” will be added soon. Stay tuned.

There’s still plenty of unopened buds – looks like it will be a banner year for our azaleas.

The completion of our new airport terminal is scheduled for June and construction continues at a feverish pace. The terminal is designed to look similar to the WWII US Navy F4U Corsair fighter.

Beach Renourishment on Amelia Island

March 12, 2018March 12, 2018Chris and Carol 2 Comments

A never-ending process of replenishing lost sand along our barrier island. The sand is dredged from the St. Marys channel and then pumped on to the beach where heavy duty bulldozers then spread the sand. These operations will go on 24/7 for the next 2 to 3 weeks.

Small Town America – Fernandina Beach

Classic small-town image – Peck High School completed in 1927. It was the only school on Amelia Island, Florida that taught grades 1-12 to African-American students. The good city of Fernandina Beach still uses this building and it is kept in excellent condition. It made for a beautiful picture today on this lovely warm Winter’s day.

Tour Guide – Amelia Island Beach 2.8.18

February 8, 2018February 8, 2018Chris and Carol 9 Comments

It’s been a very rough 6 months or so here on Amelia Island – a tropical storm passed nearby and 2 early nor’easters have wrecked havoc on our normally pristine beaches. Our tour today will show us some of the preparations underway for a large-scale beach replenishment project – moving sand from point A to B, C, D, and F.

Just lookin’ for a little peace.

Dredging and then the pumping of sand on to the beach is expected to start around March 1st. Lots of heavy machinery, pipes, and whatnot over the next 2-3 months. When they’re done our beach will be ready for whatever nature has in store this hurricane season.

Submitted for consideration for the Weekly Photo Challenge – Tour Guide

Thanks, Chris
