Ice Cream is the Perfect Way to Cool Off This Summer

If you’ve found yourself in Fernandina Beach and craving something cold and sweet, look no further, because this is the premier list of the best ice cream shops in Fernandina. We evaluated Fernandina’s ice cream parlors on several factors including location, number of dessert options, variety of ice cream flavors, and overall atmosphere. Listed below are, in our humble opinion, the greatest our city has to offer!

DeNucci’s 

DeNucci's, located at 2210 Sadler Road, is a beloved ice cream shop known for its rich and creamy frozen custard. Their chocolate vanilla twist in a waffle cone is a crowd favorite. DeNucci's also offers an array of other delightful treats, including floats and sundaes. The atmosphere is family-friendly, making it a perfect stop for both locals and tourists looking for a sweet treat after a day at the beach. Their outdoor seating area is especially popular during warm summer evenings, providing a pleasant setting to enjoy ice cream as the day wanes.

Cinnamon Bear Country Stores

Located at 107 Centre Street, The Cinnamon Bear Country Store offers a unique blend of shopping and ice cream indulgence. This store is a treasure trove of souvenirs, gifts, and, of course, delicious ice cream. It’s an excellent spot for families as there is something for everyone. While browsing through an array of clothing, bracelets, and candy, visitors can also enjoy a scoop of their favorite ice cream. Parking in this location can be challenging, so we recommend parking in the free Nassau County Public Library lot in front of Timoti’s and taking a short walk over, so one can enjoy the many delights Cinnamon Bear has to offer!

Fantastic Fudge

Located at 218 Centre Street, Fantastic Fudge is not just an ice cream shop but a paradise for all things sweet. While they are known for their hand-dipped chocolates and freshly made fudge, the shop also serves a very impressive selection of ice cream flavors. Fantastic Fudge is a staple in Fernandina Beach, often frequented by those with a penchant for high-quality, handmade confections. The charming, nostalgic interior adds to the experience, making every visit feel like a step back in time​.

Island Time Ice Cream and Frozen Yogurt

Island Time Ice Cream and Frozen Yogurt, located at 306 Centre Street, is a go-to spot for both ice cream and frozen yogurt enthusiasts. Known for its friendly service and relaxed atmosphere, Island Time provides a wide variety of flavors and toppings, allowing customers to customize their desserts to their liking. This shop carries traditional ice cream and healthier frozen yogurt options. The vibrant, beach-themed decor adds to the overall experience, making it a fun place to cool off with a sweet treat on a hot day.
