The best seaside towns and neighborhoods have beautiful beaches, vibrant boardwalks, dream homes, locally-owned boutiques and seafood dives you can stroll to—plus an extra measure of coastal heart and soul. Places where neighbors know each other and toast sunsets at laid-back gatherings, where family and friends come together for memory-making traditions. For nearly 20 years, Coastal Living has shared and celebrated these beach communities from coast to coast—and now you can find those best beach neighborhoods in Coastal Living Communities.

Crane Island is honored to be BOTH A Southern Living Inspired Community & A Coastal Living Community. What drives us every day is First protecting this island land treasure attached to Amelia Island Florida. Second, we believe in the importance and necessity of timeless design and we need look no further than our backyard to see our clues. Third, we believe that we can be better neighbors and celebrate together the big and small moments in life. We believe the social fabric of our island hamlet begins on the porch and we can’t wait to hear the stories and tales of the day told on the porches of Crane Island.
