The 72nd Annual Opening Of The Jacksonville Beaches Parade will be held at 2:00 p.m., on Sunday, April 29, 2018.
This is an amazing tradition with fun participants, great bands, amazing floats, and of course, member of the Fernandina Pirates Club and their ship, “Amelia’s Revenge”.
Beaches, bikinis, bicycles, beach boards, and everything else you can imagine pertaining to fun in the sun will be featured at this awesome parade.
Come on out and join the Pirates!
Pirates, we are gonna make you all super-stars!!!
The Club needs pictures and bios of our current membership to complete the website.
Your biography should be two to three short paragraphs. It can be serious or silly. You can use your real name, your pirate name or both! This is all about YOU!!! You may want to include the reasons you are a Pirate, or perhaps how you achieved your Pirate name. You can talk about work, family, friends and other organizations you are passionate about.
This is a great way for the community to know who our Pirate members are and what we represent both individually, as well as our group.
Pictures should be fairly current and “G” rated. They need to be about 300 px wide and of similar height. If you aren’t sure, simply send it to me and I can adjust the image if needed. Take a look at the Current Membership page while it is being constructed and you will get an idea of what we are looking for.
Send your picture and bio to: info@FernandinaPirates.com.
If you have any questions, send an email to the address above and I’d be happy to assist you through this.

Members of the Fernandina Pirates Club wear a patch, usually on their hat, arm or boot, to show that they are actual members of the Fernandina Pirates Club. During the Shrimp Festival, you may see many different pirates. There are short pirates, tall pirates, pirates wearing many colors, pirates with pistols, pirates with swords, male pirates and female pirates. Pirates come from near and far for the Best Beards Contest, for the Little Pirates Contest, to see the parade, or just to come and play pirate.
As the proclaimed Goodwill Ambassadors to Amelia Island and Nassau County, the Fernandina Pirates Club proudly promotes the Isle of Eight Flags Shrimp Festival. The Pirates will be invading before the fireworks show on Friday night and again on Saturday afternoon. In between and on Sunday, you will find club members at the waterfront, the Kids Zone, and everywhere in between, always ready and willing to pose for pictures.
When you spot a scallywag, wearing a Fernandina Pirates Club patch, wanderin’ the streets during the 50th Annual Isle of Eight Flags Shrimp Festival, don’t be a-feared, they are your hearties. Just walk up and say, “Ahoy!” or maybe, “Arrr!”
