The Beach is gorgeous and the history is fascinating and a bit heavy at the same time.

Nana Dune, located on American Beach in Fernandina Beach, FL, comprises an 8.5-acre sand dune that is a part of the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve, which has historical significance for the African American community. Purchased by the National Park Service in 2005, it is the tallest sand dune in Florida and serves as a reminder of the area's past as a popular resort destination for African American beachgoers.
Visitors to Nana Dune can access the area via Lewis Street, where a pull-off allows for viewing information panels about the dune and the surrounding historical context. Although American Beach has seen decline over the years, the preservation efforts ensure that this portion of its rich history is protected from further development.
