Need a worthwhile day trip? Fort Clinch, now part of the State of Florida Parks system, is one of the finest examples of U.S. Third System Fortifications built to defend the U.S. Coast. It guards the Atlantic mouth of the St Mary's and Amelia Rivers.
This third generation of U.S. coastal fortifications were built during the period of 1812-1868, using a dual wall system of brick and earth.
