Since your group has a mix of seafood lovers and picky eaters, it’s best to pick places with diverse menus or casual spots where everyone can find something they like.
Here are some recommended dinner spots in downtown Amelia Island:
- The Salty Pelican – Great for seafood with a casual, fun atmosphere. They have plenty of options beyond seafood like burgers, sandwiches, and salads, so even the less adventurous eaters will find something they enjoy.
