Fun in the sun and good food – that’s what Fernandina Beach has to offer. You’ll find spectacular views, fun activities and cozy rooms in our Fernandina Beach condo rentals. But when it’s time to sit down and enjoy a meal, you’ll find a lot of great places to eat, too.
Sushi is a popular choice among locals and tourists, but you’ll find an array of food options for everyone’s tastes. Seafood lovers will find a lot of restaurants worth visiting, but you won’t want to miss these top sushi destinations.
