This is the second consecutive year the island has been recognized on this list and also came in at No. 3 last year, the visitors bureau said in a news release.

“We work hard to promote a sustainable tourism product, and our local industry works hard to deliver an exceptional experience for travelers, so it’s both gratifying and inspiring to find Amelia Island once again voted among the Top U.S. Islands,” Gil Langley, President of the Amelia Island Convention & Visitors Bureau, said in the release. “This recognition from Condé Nast Traveler is consistent with research showing 98.7% of visitors are satisfied with their visit, 99.0% would recommend Amelia Island to friends and relatives, and 93.9% plan to return.”
