The Amelia Island Shrimping Museum, located at the downtown Fernandina Beach harbor, offers visitors Amelia Island’s rich history about net making, ship building, and so much more! Learn about the families that brought modern shrimping to Florida and their descendants who keep alive the traditions.
The Fernandina Beach Marine Welcome Center & Shrimping Museum is run under the auspices of the Amelia Island Museum of History. In 2010 the City of Fernandina Beach approached the Museum about creating a Welcome Center and Shrimping Museum. The Amelia Island Museum of History gladly stepped up because they believe in our maritime history and in the importance of educating our community, both full time and temporary, on the amazing part it has played in the development of our local, state, and national heritage.
