We grew up going to the beach in Amelia Island, FL. It's serene. Even driving in Amelia is tranquil with gently curving roads shaded by arching tree canopies and spanish moss. The beach scenery is soft, muted, and watercolored. In addition to the beach is an assortment of well groomed golf courses. Golfing, a casual tennis game, or run on the beach is as active Amelia Island gets. The private and slow nature is perfect for authentic peace and quiet & curling up with a good book under an umbrella.

Hah, Kristina! Not quite as glamorous as it sounds - you dig a giant hole in the sand close to the ocean. After you hit water you sit in it. Voila -beach jacuzzi!
