Welcome
The Best Western Plus First Coast Inn & Suites sits right on A1A in Yulee — fifteen minutes from Amelia Island’s beaches, nine miles from Jacksonville International, and an easy hop off I-95 when the day’s drive is done.
Come for the location, stay for the rhythm: a hot breakfast before the beach, an afternoon at the pool while dinner smokes across the road, and a quiet, soundproofed room at the end of it all. Simple, done well.

Dining
Breakfast is covered — hot and free, off the lobby. After that, it’s barbecue from the family-run stand across State Road 200, wild-caught Fernandina shrimp fifteen minutes east, and tapas in a garden courtyard downtown. We keep a printed list of favorites at the front desk.
