Partner Spotlight: Amelia Island CVB

Part 2 in our blog series honoring the unique, inspiring and often incredible work of our clients.

Today, we wanted to take a few moments to brag on the goods folks of the Amelia Island CVB.

Yet despite the hardships, and against the odds, our friends at the CVB have always gone above and beyond to support the businesses and events that make Amelia Island so very special. Though their staff is small, the group has pulled off some amazing things over the years, and its been our great pleasure to be small part of the fun! The island regularly appears on the top of desirable travel destinations, both nationally and internationally, a true testament to the hard work of the CVB.

A Firsthand Account of Amelia Island’s Historic Shrimping Industry

Though the coast to both our north and south was largely clouded over, we were treated to a stunning sunrise over the marshy interior of the island.
