Amelia Island experienced relatively minor damage from Hurricane Irma, with most of its hospitality infrastructure rapidly recovering. Many of the island’s accommodators are already open or will be open by Friday, Sept. 15, most roads have been completely cleared, and power has been restored on much of the island.

“We were extremely fortunate. Our hospitality partners have been working feverishly to open their doors for locals, visitors, emergency workers, evacuees and other displaced by the storm,” stated Gil Langley, president and CEO of the Amelia Island CVB.
