Marion Park, located at American Beach in Florida's Amelia Island, is a historically significant site established to provide a welcoming space for African Americans during the era of segregation. This 8.5-acre sand dune served as a vibrant retreat for black vacationers, with various accommodations and recreational activities thriving before the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Today, American Beach houses modest homes alongside modern developments while preserving its rich history through ongoing rehabilitation efforts, including those facilitated by the African American Civil Rights Grant Program. Visitors can enjoy nearby Burney Beachfront Park for restroom access, although other facilities and visitor services are limited, emphasizing the privacy of the surrounding private landholders.
