Outdoor Kitchens in Fernandina Beach & Amelia Island

Ocean air is the best part of living on Amelia Island, and the hardest thing on anything you leave outside. Here is how we help homeowners in Fernandina Beach, Amelia Island, Yulee and across Nassau County choose an outdoor kitchen built for salt, sun and wind.

About an hour south on I-95 to our showroom at 8206 Philips Hwy Unit 20, Jacksonville, traffic permitting. Call ahead at (904) 867-3320 and we will make the trip count.

Where You Live Changes the Plan

Nassau County packs three very different backyards into a short drive. Start with yours.

01

Atlantic beachfront

This is where salt spray, sun and wind hit hardest. Florida's Coastal Construction Control Line runs the length of the Nassau County coast, from Cumberland Sound to Nassau Sound, and building or altering property seaward of it requires a permit from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. If your deck backs up to the dunes, find out where the line falls before you plan anything.

Our suggestion: tuck the island on the landward side of the house, out of the strongest wind, and choose materials from the list below.

02

Marsh and river side

On the western side of the island, along the Amelia River and the salt marsh, the wind is usually gentler and the sunsets are the show. It is still salt air. Screened porches and lanais are common here, and a compact grill island or island bar can work well beside one.

Our suggestion: point the bar seating west and plan for evening shade.

03

Yulee and mainland Nassau

West of the island, newer master-planned communities such as Wildlight, just off I-95 and about 13 miles from Amelia Island by State Road 200, bring newer homes, pool decks and HOA design guidelines. They also bring a shorter drive to our showroom.

Our suggestion: check your HOA's guidelines first. Our Knowledge Center covers planning, and a free 3D design gives you a rendering to submit.

What Holds Up to Salt Air

Every part of a Paradise island is spelled out, so you can judge it against Amelia Island conditions instead of taking our word for it.

  • 304 stainless grills

    Paradise professional grills use 304 commercial-grade stainless steel, with cast stainless burners and hexagonal stainless grates.

  • Avellaero stone

    Rated UV resistant, stain resistant and color fade-resistant for life. It does not oxidize and never needs sealing.

  • Milano siding

    Island bases can be clad in Milano architectural siding, which is fully waterproof.

  • Powder-coated frames

    Shades of Paradise pergolas are framed in American steel and aluminum, then powder-coated.

One habit worth keeping: after a windy, salty stretch, rinse the stainless and the countertop with fresh water. And no outdoor kitchen or pergola is storm-proof. Talk to us about placement before hurricane season, not during it.

Amelia Island Outdoor Kitchen FAQ

How far is your showroom from Fernandina Beach?

Plan on about an hour south on I-95 to 8206 Philips Hwy Unit 20 in Jacksonville, depending on traffic and where you start on the island. From Yulee it is shorter. Call ahead at (904) 867-3320 and tell us which models you want to see.

Will an outdoor kitchen hold up to salt air on Amelia Island?

Choose materials made for it. Paradise professional grills are 304 commercial-grade stainless steel, Avellaero stone does not oxidize and never needs sealing, and Milano siding is fully waterproof. Rinsing with fresh water after salty, windy weather helps keep everything looking new.

Do I need a permit for an outdoor kitchen near the beach?

Possibly. Building or altering property seaward of Florida's Coastal Construction Control Line, which runs along the entire Nassau County coast, requires a permit from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. Local building permits may also apply. Check with the state, the county or the City of Fernandina Beach before you order.

My home is in downtown Fernandina's historic district. Anything to know?

The Fernandina Beach Historic District has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1973 and includes roughly 300 buildings. Ask the City of Fernandina Beach about review requirements for exterior changes before you order. A free 3D design can help you show the city exactly what you plan to add.
