Best Beach Resorts in Northeast Florida
Northeast Florida is where the state’s history and its coastline come together most beautifully. This stretch of the Atlantic, from the wild, relatively uncrowded shores of Amelia Island down through the ancient streets of St. Augustine, rewards travelers who want something more than just a beach vacation.
The resorts here tend to offer more breathing room, more character, and easier access to one-of-a-kind cultural attractions than you’ll find further south. It’s also one of the more affordable parts of the Florida coast, with options that run from genuine luxury down to smart budget picks just steps from the ocean.
Omni Amelia Island Resort & Spa
The upscale pick on Amelia Island, balancing luxury with genuine privacy. Atlantic Ocean views and easy access to explore the rest of the island. Golf course also!
Hammock Beach Golf Resort & Spa
One of the strongest resorts near Jacksonville, combining beachfront relaxation with real luxury. Close to the famed Sawgrass PGA course, with two restaurants and town car service.
Guy Harvey Resort St. Augustine Beach
The budget-friendly beachfront option here, just five miles from St. Augustine’s historic attractions. A wide Atlantic beach with amenities that punch above the price point.
