SHOP THE SHOPS OF AMELIA ISLAND PLANTATION A mix of local boutiques, familiar designers, gourmet food, and art galleries make for an ideal shopping escape. Marché Burette and Natural Slice Pizza are part of the mix, so there is no need to browse hungry or thirsty. HISTORIC DOWNTOWN FERNANDINA BEACH AND BEECH STREET The 50-block National Historic District is a stroller's paradise filled with eclectic, independent shops stretching from the harborfront down and around Centre Street. A shopping expedition here could easily fill several days (fortunately there are cafés and restaurants sprinkled in between). Lovers of vintage won't want to miss the antique shops where stalls of discoveries beckon. On Saturdays from 9am to 1pm, the Fernandina Beach Market Place comes to North 7th Street with a farmers market featuring live entertainment and an arts market on the second and fourth Saturdays of every month. A new addition to the retail landscape, the Beech Street Shops are set in a series of charming cottages at the District's edge, next to the 801 Kitchen and Bar. 61
