American Beach, located on the south end of Amelia Island in Florida, is a significant historical site that served as a vacation destination for African Americans during the era of segregation. Originally established to provide access to beachfront areas excluded to blacks due to Jim Crow laws, the beach became a vibrant community known for its commercial establishments, summer homes, and racial acceptance.

Today, American Beach represents a crucial chapter in the African American civil rights movement, with ongoing restoration efforts supported by initiatives like the African American Civil Rights Grant Program. Though modest in facilities, including restrooms at Burney Beachfront Park, American Beach continues to reflect its rich heritage while navigating the changes brought by surrounding development.
