Candice Cove is one of the Historic homes on American Beach Oceanfront. American Beach is a historic HOA beach community located north of Jacksonville, Florida on Amelia Island in Nassau County. During the time of segregation and the Jim Crow era, African Americans were not allowed to swim at most of beaches in Jacksonville, and several black-only areas were created. American Beach was the largest and most popular, and was a community established by Abraham Lincoln Lewis, Florida’s first black millionaire and president of the Afro-American Life Insurance Company.

American Beach was founded in 1935 by Florida’s first black millionaire, Abraham Lincoln Lewis, and his Afro-American Life Insurance Company. The plan was for his employees to have a place to vacation and own homes for their families by the shore. Throughout the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, summers at American Beach were busy with families, churches and children. It was a place where African Americans could enjoy “Recreation and Relaxation Without Humiliation”. The beach included hotels, restaurants, and nightclubs as well as homes and other businesses.

Location, location, location!
We couldn’t have asked for a better location! This charming beach house is right on the beach, 1 mile beach walk to the Omni and 1.75 mile beach walk to The Ritz. Our kids were spoiled by the accessibility to the beach - so convenient to come back to eat lunch, use the facilities, etc. We had plenty of room for our party of five. The next time we are on Amelia Island, we will be staying here!

Thanksgiving at the beach
Location is everything in my opinion when going to the beach. This rental location was perfect. Waking up to the sunrises daily and being a walk over the dune to the ocean was exactly what this Colorado family needed!
