Looking for a loop in Amilia Island area

I'll be in Amilia Island area in February and would like to do a ride. Any suggestions on a route around 25 to 30 miles

The Amelia Island (note spelling) Ocean View Trail is 13.7 miles one-way, so it would get you 27.4 miles round trip. You'll love this one. It starts in historic downtown Fernandina and takes you down a wide boulevard passing Fort Clinch State Park (which you can bike through) to the beach at the Main Beach Park where there's picnic areas, restrooms, and beach access, then along the A1A route to the far end at Amelia Island State Park. Lots of shops, parks, historic places. Here's a map:

Check out the "tour of Georgia". They have an excellent route for the Amelia Island area including Fort Clynch. The gpx file is also available from this site along with the map. Have a good ride.

Mileage may depend on where you are staying. I second going to Ft. Clinch. Ft. George Is. is a good ride too. Also, Big and Little Talbot State park are along the way. I use Google maps (with the bike routes on) and Ridewithgps to plan my rides.
