"Kingsley Plantation revisited" Fort George Island Travelogue by grandmaR

Kingsley from the anchorage

Our next objective was Kingsley Plantation at Fort George where we had anchored on our first time down the ICW.

Exhibit at Fort Caroline

This proved to be another part of the Timucan Preserve (and another passport stamp) inside of a state park.

Ocean side of the anchorage

It was free and we could tour the grounds (and take pictures of the boats anchored in front), but the house was being renovated and not available for tour.

Poster about the Ribault Club exhibit

The Ribault Club had a free exhibit at the visitor's center of the state park, but we didn't go to that.

Now we drove along A1A across where the Fort George River inlet used to be (it's a fixed bridge and a sand bar across it now and even a kayak would have to be portaged), ..

and through Little Talbot Island (a Florida State Park) on State Road A1A. The park covers the entire 2,500 acre island. Big Talbot Island State Park lies to the immediate north.

Crossing the Nassau Sound Bridge

..and across the Nassau Sound bridge to Amelia Island.
