American Beach, located on Florida's Amelia Island, is a historically significant destination created during the Jim Crow era to provide African Americans with access to the coastline. Established to counter the segregation laws prohibiting their entry to public beaches, it became a thriving community for vacationing African Americans, featuring motels, restaurants, and shops catering to their unique needs.
