In-Depth Information
You can't get much more laid-back or friendly than this colorful, peaced-out bar in a
crooked little cottage with a wraparound porch. It serves cocktails, bourbon of all sorts and
plenty of cold beer. Check out the dude playing guitar out front, if you're lucky.

There's nothing snooty about this booty bar, serving cheap drinks and plenty of them. With
pool tables inside, two expansive decks with ocean views outside, occasional DJs and in-
famous 'bikini Sundays,' there's plenty of testosterone and sunshine to keep the boys and
girls happy.
Shopping
Downtown Fernandina Beach features a dozen blocks lined with fudge shops, children's
