Such a quiet & peaceful beach! Bathroom is a slight long walk away. However, this has got to be the only beach you will see horse riding. Also, swim at your own risk because theres no lifeguard towers.

What to say about Peters Point Beachfront Park?I dare to say this is, hands down, my favorite Beachfront Park that I have visited, at least in the United States.Everything is very organized and clean.There are several shower stations both outside and INSIDE the bathrooms. Additionally, theres a changing area in the bathrooms in front of the, at least, 6 shower heads and even a bench inside to shower a toddler or a person with mobility disabilities. They have nice soap, and although for some reason the mens bathroom sinks didnt have water, there were plenty of showers to rinse it off like I wrote earlier. And they have water fountains with actual COLD water.Now, the wooden bridges that take you to the beach make you want to have them at home. Theyre really nice quality and very picturesque.This park allows vehicle transit in the sand and I saw at least 3 lifeguard stations with actual lifeguards on duty.Parking is great too.I will definitely would like to visit again while on Amelia Island!

Just a quick visit, but what a beautiful beach. Its a large beach with great facilities and great shell searching. The water was super clear in the sandbar was great when I was there as well.

Let me 1st state that I am not a beach goer. I HATE sand lol. That being said i took my child to the beach here because they have nice facilities. They have outdoor showers, an indoor shower room, and 2 private shower/dressing rooms. We were able to have a nice morning at the beach playing in the surf and then washed all that annoying sand off to continue our floridian adventure. If a nonbeachgoer approves then it has to be good right :-)

Beautiful beach!! Clean. People are friendly. My furbaby is paralyzed so I was worried about other dogs but everyone kept their furbabies on a leash and cleaned up after them. Only thing I wish was a spot close to the entrance for handicap. Its hard for my mom to walk the distance to the beach but the man at gate was nice enough to let us drive to in a little to pick her up and load my doggy up. Other than that I love it. Love seeing the gopher turtles roam around too

I was able to park by the beach without having to drive on it. There were bathrooms and walkways to the beach. I was able to grab a spot where vehicles were not permitted and we all built awesome sand sculptures . I also appreciated the people there adhered to social distancing. I had a wonderful time!

Its really sad to say this but you can no longer camp on the beach nor can any non-county resident drive on the beach. Because of these decisions made by the county I can no longer create memories with my family camping on the beach. Its a real shame my kids will not get to grow up doing this.

So nice to get away, even if only for an hour! Everyone was so respectful and properly social distancing... Families having fun, people walking, sounds running, all enjoying the amazing ocean! Several local residents were chatting with visitors and enjoying the polite company. Weather was a bit humid but no one seemed to care as we were so excited to be outside. There is always something about the vast ocean that seems to make all our inconveniences seem so small. The waves crashing endlessly against the sand seems to put life back into proper perspective! We all had such a nice time... Clean and fun!

Really nice beach. County residents can drive onto the beach but parking is super close too. Doesnt get too crowded but pack lunch and snacks. Not like the main beach where food is nearby.

Loved the beach!! The public bathroom and inside showers and stalls were awful!!! Needs a thorough cleaning!! I understand normal use, but this was absolutely disgusting in there. Over time it has been getting worse. Please consider hiring a weekly cleaner. We do love to go here.

Peters point is a great beach. If you have 4 wheel drive and a beach pass you can drive right up on the beach. I recommend getting a spot early. It gets busy early afternoon. Dogs are also allowed on the beach. Tons of shells for shelling and possibly sharks teeth too. We grilled right on our tailgate and relaxed all day. One of the best beaches on Amelia Island.

Review №23

Would be better if the county put the rules back the way they were.The general public doesnt have to same use of the public land . They took away most of the publics rights to use the beach.It isnt worth visiting. The whole island isnt worth visiting. Democrat political control is evident.

Review №24

Easy parking in the lot, or with permits (or county resident plates) you can park on the beach if you have 4-wheel drive. The sand is nice and not too “Shelly” like main beach. Restroom/shower facilities, drinking fountains, and foot showers are so convenient. It’s less busy than main beach or Sadler as well!

Great beach but make sure your vehicle has all terrain tires and is capable. Pushed out several vehicles. Fun, clean beach though.

Review №37

Its over populated most days in the summer because the Ritz Carlton and the condos there on both sides have crammed everyone into one small area so they can have private beaches. Miles of beaches on the island and only a few accessible public beaches. It use to be a wonderful island to vacation on and live on. Now its more of a rich old retirement area. If you cant afford to live directly on the beach good luck.

Great beach with parking and public facilities. Be careful though if you dont have 4 wheel drive youre most likely going to get stuck trying to drive on the beach.

Beautiful park with free public access. Free parking. Free foot access to beach. Driving on the beach allowed with permit only. Horses allowed on beach. Great for walking, as the sand is very hard. Area seems very safe. Picnic tables available. Pets on leash ok. Beautiful boardwalks to beach area. Highly recommended.

A friend told me about Peters Point, so I went to see it. This beach has car access, 4x4 is important though. Good place to sit or sunbathe. Fishing is good and you maybe lucky to see a dolphin (or a big shark). Plenty of room to play for friends and family or fly a kite. Dont forget to ride a horse on this beach. Awesome place

My family and I love this beach. We spend as much time here as we can every year. There are picnic tables and restrooms. Theres rarely any soap to wash your hands. So bring your own or hand sanitizer.

Review №64

Awesome place! If you are not a resident, you can get a permit to drive. It is a small patch that you can drive in, but still awesome. One of the few places that you can still do that, and according to Sheriff because of noisy and trashy people, the residents are trying to ban it.

Review №65

Looking for an uncrowded beach, lowekey beach.This is it. Dont drive all the way to Jacksonville. Has a shorter shoreline when tide is higher but the fact that you can drive a 4-wheel vehicle on it is cool (if you have one). The sunsets are peaceful. We set up a done 1/2 dome tent and bring cooler to lounge

Awesome experience. Holly was the bomb. Holly was very professional and patient. Assisted my wife with overcoming the fear of Horseback riding . If you visit Amelia Island you must experience Horseback riding on the beach with the Amelia Island Horseback Riding company.

Perfect for families, especially with little kids! there is a tide pool type area for little ones to play. The ocean has a pretty strong under tow so keep an eye on those who are not strong swimmers. Ocean was dirty so dont go expecting Hawaiian blue waters lol showers/bathrooms were ok. if they had a family bathroom or even an outdoor shower where my husband could help me with our baby during the showering process, Id give it 5 stars. Oh and even though we went on Memorial day, there was tons of parking and beach spaces to spread out.

This beach has always been a fun place to hang out. The only issue I had was the woman hanging out by the restrooms stating she had been living there, needed help, & her boyfriend was in jail. I suggested she speak to the 2 sheriffs that were parked on the beach.
