DIRECTIONS:

Classroom instruction is held at
714 Beech Street in Historic Fernandina Beach.
[Parking lot behind house - driveway on 8th St.]

Offices & classrooms are located in a historic home
at the corner of South 8th & Beech Streets.
Beech Street is two blocks south of the island's
main East-West thoroughfare, Centre Street
(a.k.a. Atlantic Ave.) in the downtown historic district.

Head north on 8th St., which is also Hwy. A1A.
We're in a yellow Victorian home on the SW corner,
across the street from "T-Ray's Burger Station" -
a local favorite; and kitty-corner from the popular
historic Beech Street Grill.

If driving on Atlantic Avenue, head west toward the river.
Turn left onto 8th Street. Our headquarters will be
on your right, two short blocks south of Atlantic/Centre.

From our building on Beech St., it's a short, pleasant walk
to the downtown marina, where we dock our sailboats
and conduct on-the-water instruction!
We are conveniently located near the downtown
Hampton Inn and many of the island's beautiful
historic bed-&-breakfast homes.
Contact us for lodging recommendations.
